Hi NIOS developers,

yesterday I've finished my NIOS Development Kit comparison. As an result of it I've expand the NIOS documentation end rebuild the board configuration. The work is accessible by patches:

(1) NIOS documentation ---------------------- http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cdk4nios/u-boot-20031125cvs-nios_doc.patc...

In this patch you will find some more documentations: doc/README.nios supplementations doc/README.nios_DK Development Kit (DK) hardware overview doc/README.dk1c20_std32 NIOS CPU standard_32 at DK-1C20 doc/README.dk1s10_std32 NIOS CPU standard_32 at DK-1S10 doc/README.dk1s40_std32 NIOS CPU standard_32 at DK-1S10 doc/README.dk20k200_std32 NIOS CPU standard_32 at DK-20K200 doc/README.nios_CFG_NIOS_CPU config. reference for CFG_NIOS_CPU_

(2) LAN91C111 ------------- http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cdk4nios/u-boot-20031125cvs-smc91111_fix....

Pending patch. We need it at NIOS platforms to avoid MAC setup failures. I'm not happy about the state of this patch ...

(3) new DK1C20 configuration ---------------------------- http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cdk4nios/u-boot-20031125cvs-dk1c20_reconf...

main work:

* moves DK1C20 board path from board/dk1c20 to board/altera/dk1c20 * makes a new common source path board/altera/common (at this time for flash access stuff only) * change/expand the Makefile * change/expand configuration file DK1C20.h

Patch U-Boot and you can configure and make U-Boot for a standard_32 NIOS CPU at Altera's DK1C20. Type in:

> make DK1C20_standard_32_config > make

NOTE: make DK1C20_config works again and force the standard_32 configuration as default.

(4) DK1S10 support ------------------ http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cdk4nios/u-boot-20031125cvs-dk1s10_suppor...

Patch U-Boot and you can configure and make U-Boot for a standard_32 NIOS CPU at Altera's DK1S10. Type in:

> make DK1C20_standard_32_config > make

Any comments and notes to the new configuration framework are welcome. Scott, Patrice, what's your opinion ?

Have fun, Stephan Linz
