Hello. 

 

I want to make a small system with nios2 development kit(Stratix2 EP2S60ES). 

 

All that I want to do is, 

*Read BMP file in CF (FAT16 format). 

*Output the BMP file data to custom logic block in Quaruts2 design. 

*The custom logic output the data to PROT2 connector. 

 

I read the forum, and I found several ways 

(uCLinux, eCos, Altera Host Based File System, Making own filesystem etc). 

But I can't judge which is the easiest way. 

 

Which is the easiest way to make this? 

And could you explain the detail of the easiest way ? 

(For me, it is the first time to use nios2. 

I'm harware engineer. I don't know about software design, well. 

So, I want to know every step to make it.) 

 

Thank you. 

Best regards.

I'd go with uClinux on this. Download uClinux and work through the tutorial. Then modify the "full-featured" demo design for your board to hook up the CF slot (disconnect the LCD). Then it's just a matter of writing a Linux program to read from CF and write to your peripheral.
