build uclinux error

Altera_Forum · ‎05-29-2006

THANKS

I WANT TO DO ACCORDING TO hippo,I downloads the Nios II Linux Distribution v1.4 ,and build.zip.BECAUSE THE NET DOWLOAD IS SLOW,SO I DOWNLOAD THIS FILES:uClinux-dist-20051110.tar.bz2,busybox-20060320.tar.bz2,uClibc-20060320.tar.bz2 AND buildroot-20060320.tar.bz2

,then I place this files in ~/download instead of WGET commond.

COULD YOU HELP HOW TO MODIFY THE BUID FILE:

You will need wget more files for buildroot, and take more time.

Please download the binary tools and rootfs from the nios wiki, and install them.

Then use this script to prepare the sources, and you can compile the kernel.

But I still recommand you follow the uClinux-dist approach as in the wiki.

#!/bin/bash
rm -rf ~/buildroot ~/rootfs ~/linux-2.6.x ~/download/mx140 ~/uClinux-dist ~/apps#  to prepare kernel source
cd ~/download
mkdir mx140
cd mx140#  convert the crlf with unzip -a
echo "prepare kernel source"
unzip -aoq ../nios2linux-1.4.zip#  kernel 2.6.11-uc0 source ported by microtronix

thanks hippo,because i want to port uclinux to my own board,so i want to according to you, i think the WGET in the build script is to download four file ,so i download the four file instead of downloading the four file because the net is slow , do you think so? if so , i want you modify the script ,

by the way, I found that no altera directory in the uClinux-dist\vendors\,why?

thanks!!!!

The buildroot process will wget a lot more files. So I don't suggest you run buildroot.

(My best suggestion for you)

Follow the binary toolchain and uClinux-dist as in nios wiki.

You need to download only three files with your browser,

http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operating...ios2gcc.tar.bz2 (http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operatingsystems/%c2%b5clinux/binarytoolchain/nios2gcc.tar.bz2)

http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operating...ux-dist.diff.gz (http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operatingsystems/%c2%b5clinux/uclinuxdist/uclinux-dist.diff.gz)

http://www.uclinux.org/pub/uclinux/dist/uc...0060511.tar.bz2 (http://www.uclinux.org/pub/uclinux/dist/uclinux-dist-test-20060511.tar.bz2)

I know the network speed is slow. Please be patient and read some uClinux / Linux doc. http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

dear hippo,

Thank you very much, because I don't know how to do,could you give me the particular step about establish uclinux,thanks!

OK.

step1. Do you have altera nios dev board?

If you have one, try out the prebuild zImage, as in the wiki http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operating...s/tryoutuclinux (http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operatingsystems/tryoutuclinux)

Step2, , download the binary tool http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operating...ios2gcc.tar.bz2 (http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operatingsystems/%c2%b5clinux/binarytoolchain/nios2gcc.tar.bz2)

and install as in http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operating...binarytoolchain (http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operatingsystems/binarytoolchain)

step3, dowload

http://www.uclinux.org/pub/uclinux/dist/uc...0060511.tar.bz2 (http://www.uclinux.org/pub/uclinux/dist/uclinux-dist-test-20060511.tar.bz2) (take a long time)

and

http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operating...ux-dist.diff.gz (http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operatingsystems/%c2%b5clinux/uclinuxdist/uclinux-dist.diff.gz)

Then follow

http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operating...nux/uclinuxdist (http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operatingsystems/%c2%b5clinux/uclinuxdist)

Altera_Forum · ‎05-29-2006

First i thank you very much,i want do uclinux in my own custiom board,i have not altera dev board,could you give some advice in my own custom board?

thanks!

That's OK.

First, you should read "before you start" in the wiki http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operating...ms/%c2%b5clinux (http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operatingsystems/%c2%b5clinux)

And build your nios2 hardware in sopc builder, compile to sof.

The install the binary toolchain (step2) and uClinux-dist (step3).

Now you can createt the kernel zImage,

and follow the "try out" to run it (step1),

Thanks hippo, according to you ,when i execute the following command,

------------------------------------

cd ~

tar jxf uClinux-dist-test-20060511.tar.bz2

cd uClinux-dist-test

zcat uClinux-dist.diff.gz | patch -p0

make menuconfig

then emerging the following information in the termiinal:

You need ncurses lib.

If you use Fedora core, "su -" to root and run "yum install ncurses ncurses-devel" .

thanks,i don't use fedora and vmware ,i only use the red hat 9.0 on pc directly ,pls help me !!!

fedora core is redhat linux.

cd into your redhat CD's RedHat/RPMS ,

rpm -Uvh ncurses*.rpm

Altera_Forum · ‎05-29-2006

[root@localhost RPMS]# rpm -Uvh ncurses*.rpm

warning: ncurses-5.3-4.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e

Preparing... # ########################################## [100%]

package ncurses-5.3-4 is already installed

then i execute the command:make menuconfig

this is the information :

[wangdengke@localhost uClinux-dist-test]$ make menuconfig

config/mkconfig > config.in

/bin/sh: line 1: config.in: 权限不够

It looks like that you didn't select software development package during redhat linux installataion.

You need to install gcc. Try "gcc -v", if not work, use rpm to install gcc.

NOTE, you should NOT cd linux-2.6.x in uClinux-dist to build kernel.

(This is different from the old buildroot guide)

READ the WIKI, http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operating...nux/uclinuxdist (http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operatingsystems/%c2%b5clinux/uclinuxdist)

You should do all the make commands in ~/uClinux-dist-test dir.

Altera_Forum · ‎05-30-2006

OR, you should backup your data, and reinstall fedora core 5 with software development packages selected during installation.
