Using NIOS II IDE according to the Linux Start Guide document, I can't create a new kernel project. It says,  

1. In the pull down menus within the Nios II IDE, Click File -> New -> Project… 

2. Select the Microtronix Nios II -> Linux Kernel Project item from the list 

3. Click Next  

 

I follow the first step, but I don't have the Microtronix Nios II -> Linux Kernel Project item. I have setup the ucLinux release v1.4 on my computer. 

How can I get the item and create a new kernel project? 

Thank you.

If you are new to uClinux, there are some advices, 

 

1. read the FAQ on www.ucdot.org 

2. build the tools chain and develop on Linux platform 

follow another thread posted from me 

"Mini howto build toolschain and initramfs on Linux" 

3. starting with a mininal system with only nios2 cpu core,dram,timer, and jtag/serial console.
