Changing a Qsys design to run latest version of uClinux


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

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.

Solution

  • 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.
