I'm using a design in Qsys to run uClinux v2.6.

enter image description here

I would like to run a newer Linx but I wa told that I must change the Qsys design and add another timer because newer Linux uses two timers. Is that correct and where can I find information about that?

The board I use is Altera DE2-115 and it works to run old linux 2.6 with the Qsys design.

You can find the documentation here: https://rocketboards.org/foswiki/view/Documentation/NiosIILinuxUserManual

The information on the website confirms the two timers need, I have not tested with only one. I am using kernel 4.1 ltsi on DE2-115 and it works fine.

  • Thanks. May I ask which Qsys design you use? Did you make it yourself or is it publicly available somewhere? – Niklas Rosencrantz Mar 29 '17 at 04:19

    I made it myself. Using Quartus 16.0 Lite. It is pretty simple CPU, Ethernet, Timers, JTAG UART and Sysid. BTW, I have not used the new generation of NIOS, I am using the old version of the processor. – user3249791 Mar 29 '17 at 14:22
  • That's wonderful. I wish I too could do it myself. Where can I learn how to do it? I suppose I must dig through the documentation a lot more. – Niklas Rosencrantz Mar 30 '17 at 03:39
