Re: Linux with MMU hangs at 'RPC'

Built with the '20100621' . The board is DE2. 'make' is successful, and I've got the images.

After 'nios2-termina', it goes:

(Forever hangs here)

Being newbie to uClinux, dunno what to do.. Any ideas? Thank you!

Very nice project,

but where you find the Hardware Projetc ( .qar) for DE2?

I can help you with LINUX, but I need the Hardware.

Could you help?

Altera_Forum · ‎02-02-2011

Hi, I build the DE2 project myself with MMU.

The configuration of NIOS2 CPU with MMU is here:

http://www.alterawiki.com/wiki/creating_a_nios_ii_design_with_an_mmu

It is built with SOPC and the components includes:

1. niosii cpu

2. on-chip RAM

3. SDRAM

4. DM9000A

5. JTAG-UART

That's all, quite simple. But still hangs there after the 'RPC' statement :(

Altera_Forum · ‎02-02-2011

Nice,

today I'll try to build that HW.

RPC is a network problem, I guess. Today I'll ask a friend about your problem

Thanks for the HW tip

Altera_Forum · ‎02-02-2011

That's quite simple :D There exists many guidances on Altera wiki.

Altera_Forum · ‎02-02-2011

Yes, there is a lot of guidance on Alterawiki but none of them are specific for DE2 with MMU.

So, as I told you today, I'll try to build myself the HW project (for DE2) and after that I'll post it for the community evaluation.
