hi all, I'm trying to use u-boot on a altera's stratix 1S10 board.... I've downloaded the stephan's RPM u-boot port for this board...and downloaded intoo my board...but it doesn't work has anyone succeded to boot u-boot on this board?
Yes, I did. It works good to me.
is the port incorporated in the 1.0.0 u-boot version...I just see the cyclone board....
Sorry there was no time and no very important reason to release the Stratix pacht to u-boot cvs (I think, I can do it now :-), because there are no significant differences between Cyclone and Stratix in context of current U-Boot code. Further this patch depends on a few outstanding patches, one for a DK1C20 configuration bug fix and the other one for the LAN91C111 ethernet driver (see: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=3410088&forum_id=...).
Here the patches you need against current 1.0.0:
1.) LAN91C111 ethernet driver
Patch: u-boot-smc91111_fix.patch.bz2 State: waiting of a successful validation and cross verification from Richard
- bug fix: change type of smc_mac_addr[] from signed to unsigned (important) - bug fix: LED configuration (defines in header) - bug fix: write to right PHY register (PHY_MASK_REG) - exclude version string for non-debug versions (saves memory)
2.) DK1C20 configuration bug fix
Patch: u-boot-dk1c20_cfg_fix.patch.bz2 State: waiting of CVS inclusion by Wolfgang
see: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=3397431&forum_id=...
Wolfgang, could you put it into the CVS repository?
3.) DK1S20 Stratix support
Patch: u-boot-dk1s10_support.patch.bz2 State: not released at u-boot list -- I'm not sure about (if finished or not)
For Stratix I've copied include/configs/DK1C20.h to include/configs/DK1S10.h, change CONFIG_DK1C20 to CONFIG_DK1S10, and expanded main Makefile to new board configuration DK1S10_config. For this new board configuration Cyclon's board directory board/dk1c20 will be used too. In it I've expand checkboard() with a second board-ID string.
You can download all the patches from CDK4NIOS project file list at sourceforge.net:

Is anyone try to port µClinux on NIOS ? I'm currently working on this
Hm, I think Scott McNutt works with uClinux on NIOS. Ask him, he is the maintainer of NIOS U-Boot port.
point and having a linux bootloader is the first step...
Yes, and U-Boot works already.
