Installation Problem

[Altera_Forum]

Hi there, 

 I tried half day to get the uclinux installed on my pc. I am using quartus 5.1 and nios5.1. In the new -> project wizard I cannot find the entry Microtronix Nios II.  I read serveral post in this forum to get the thing done. None really helped. I tried:  - from the command prompt in the eclispe directory nios2-ide.exe -clean  - uninstalling microtronics, uninstalling nios, reinstalling  The nios ide worked before and I hope it still does. After that I tried to get it running on a different pc, this one has installed quartus 5.0 and quartus 5.1. Same effect.  From the plugin details button in eclips I can see two plugins on both mashines:   - microtronix nios II kernel plugin  - microtronis nios II linux application plugin  any one more ideas ?  Volker

I dont know if all of these are related, but they are good things to check for (based on my personal experience): 

 - Windows with latest patch - Install Quartus 5.1 first, Nios II IDE 5.1 later. Dont change the default directory if not really needed. apply the service packs to both Quartus and Nios IDE. - Then install Microtronix stuff. If this still fails..man you have a tough problem because it works on mine.    --- Quote Start ---  originally posted by trapp@Mar 17 2006, 08:16 AM hi there,  i tried half day to get the uclinux installed on my pc. i am using quartus 5.1 and nios5.1. in the new -> project wizard i cannot find the entry microtronix nios ii.  i read serveral post in this forum to get the thing done. none really helped. i tried:  - from the command prompt in the eclispe directory nios2-ide.exe -clean  - uninstalling microtronics, uninstalling nios, reinstalling  the nios ide worked before and i hope it still does. after that i tried to get it running on a different pc, this one has installed quartus 5.0 and quartus 5.1. same effect.  from the plugin details button in eclips i can see two plugins on both mashines:   - microtronix nios ii kernel plugin  - microtronis nios ii linux application plugin  any one more ideas ?  volker <div align='right'><{post_snapback}> (index.php?act=findpost&pid=13549)  --- quote end ---    --- Quote End ---

I reinstalled serveral times, then I did a complete new download of the zip file ( should be the same ), extracted again, reinstalled and voila it is there.  Magic.  Thanks  Volker

Hi, 

 Just as a note. I had the same problem and ran the Eclipse "Help -> Software Updates -> Find and Install" command. This updated Eclipse and after running seems to have registered all the plugins again. This results in the :   - microtronix nios II kernel plugin  - microtronis nios II linux application plugin  being available as they are supposed to be...  -- Frank
