Maybe it is nice to discuss these here rather than the nios2 forum, as
there are more uClinux guru on the mailing list.
I'd like to try out your patches, please attach your patches to nios
wiki at http://nioswiki.jot.com/WikiHome/OperatingSystems/KernelPatches.
Then we can submit the patches, and ask Greg to merge into next
uClinux-dist release.

given that there are other forums to discuss the nios2 soft-core

building a kernel for the nios2 using uclinux? thanks
I did not yet start working fulltime on this, but I supposedly will
do so soon.
I suppose I'll start with a kit from Microtronix and look where to
go on the long run.
i've yet to get my hands on a board yet either, but after doing a test
build using the available online tarballs and patches, i decided to
strip things down to the bare essentials, so i combined the
nios2-specific patch, plus just the nios2-related content from the big
patch for the 2.6.23 kernel, and what i appear to have now is a set of
patches that:
1) is minimal and absolutely nios2-specific, and
2) applies cleanly against the latest git version of the kernel
i'm still tweaking a few, final things but if anyone out there has a
dev kit and can test this, i can ship them the patch tarball and they
can apply it against the latest kernel git tree and see if they can
build a minimal kernel for nios2. (i figured that, if i'm going to be
starting a new project, i'd just as soon work with the latest git
tree, anyway.)
so if anyone wants to run a sanity test on this patchset, drop me a
note.
