Updating Nios II IDE Filesystem Project

Hi, 

 

I would like to know how I update an exisiting Nios II IDE filesystem project to include an additional linux application(s). 

 

I currently have a filesystem that does not include busybox.exe but I would like to add it to my current Nios II IDE filesystem project so it can be rebuilt and uploaded to our development board. Can this be done using the Nios II IDE without having to create a new filesystem project or does it have to be done using the command line? 

 

Any help would be appreciated. 

 

Thanks.

Um, no... the best way of doing it (at least for busybox) would be to build a full filesystem project with all the apps and copy the busybox file from the new project to your old one...

Ken, 

 

Ok, I will try that. I previously built a filesystem will all the available applications already so I will try and copy the busybox application to my "old" project. 

 

Thanks for your help.
