V1.4 with NiosII 5.1 problems

Hi, I am new to this stuff but here is the problem: 

 

On fresh computer: 

1) installed Quartus 5.1 Web Edition 

2) installed Kit: Nios II Evaluation Edition, Version: 5.1, Build: 73b  

3) installed nios2linux-1.4.zip  

 

During nios2linux-1.4.zip install strange message box appear: 

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div> 

--- Quote Start ---  

Setup 

 

Cygwin extensions were not installed properly 

 

Please see the README for instructions on how to install them manually[/b] 

--- Quote End ---  

 

 

What does it mean? I didn&#39;t find anything about cygwin neither in readme nor in other documentation files. 

 

After that I follow Linux Quick Start Guide but at step &#39;Creating Kernel Project&#39; 

&#39;New Project&#39; dialog doesn&#39;t contain "Microtronix Nios II" folder with kernel project. 

 

Any idea where to dig and what to read to get started?

Hi, 

 

You can try running the script : ./install_cyg_ext.sh 

 

But be aware though that while all worked with 5.0, version 5.1 created a problem with the "upload" command, so you won&#39;t be able to complete the installation of the Kernel on your board as indicated in the Quick Start Guide... 

 

Hope this helps, 

Best regards, 

Bert
