V1.4 with NiosII 5.1 problems

[Altera_Forum]

Hi, I am new to this stuff but here is the problem: 

 On fresh computer: 1) installed Quartus 5.1 Web Edition 2) installed Kit: Nios II Evaluation Edition, Version: 5.1, Build: 73b  3) installed nios2linux-1.4.zip   During nios2linux-1.4.zip install strange message box appear:  <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div>  --- Quote Start ---  Setup  Cygwin extensions were not installed properly  Please see the README for instructions on how to install them manually[/b]  --- Quote End ---    What does it mean? I didn&#39;t find anything about cygwin neither in readme nor in other documentation files.  After that I follow Linux Quick Start Guide but at step &#39;Creating Kernel Project&#39; &#39;New Project&#39; dialog doesn&#39;t contain "Microtronix Nios II" folder with kernel project.  Any idea where to dig and what to read to get started?

Hi, 

 You can try running the script : ./install_cyg_ext.sh  But be aware though that while all worked with 5.0, version 5.1 created a problem with the "upload" command, so you won&#39;t be able to complete the installation of the Kernel on your board as indicated in the Quick Start Guide...  Hope this helps, Best regards, Bert
