Question about eCos for NIOS II

1,057 Views

Hi,

I have been able to implement eCos for NIOS II 5.0 using NIOS II IDE. I have successfully implemented the "Hello, eCos World" and also the PIO access, as per the instructions given in the documentation.

I have a question regarding this.

If I build an eCos application from within the NIOS II IDE using the "Advanced C/C++ Project" based on a SOPC Builder system(which includes the NIOS II Processor component), would the right way of downloading this application from the IDE be to 'Run" the executable file directly (this is the way I have done)?

Also, by doing this, does it mean that the entire "eCos" RTOS is available on top of the NIOS II processor on the FPGA?

Thanks in advance.
