The installer fails, saying I _must_ have version 5.1. Yet the text is worded saying I should download the latest version (which I have, it's 6.0).
Any plans to adjust the eCOS installation to support 6.0? I'd really rather not have to downgrade at this point, unless absolutely necessary. Thanks, -- therrienLink Copied

I have the same problem !!!
Does eCos exist for Nios 6.0 ? Alternatively, where can I find old Quartus/Nios 5.1 distribution ?

I found the same problem when I set-up a new laptop recently: I could not find Quartus 5.1 anywhere on the Altera website as it had been replaced with version 6.0. Luckily I had a copy of version 5.1 on a CD which came with my Nios dev kit so I used that instead. It would be helpful if Altera maintained a page on their website for old versions of the software.
I know this won't help you Fred, unless you have a Nios dev kit of the correct vintage in your desk drawer. I am also looking forward to ecos for Nios version 6, but I can wait patiently as version 5.1 works just fine for me at the moment. Mike- Mark as New

If it can help, I've found the old distribution here :
ftp://ftp.altera.com/outgoing/download/qu...web_edition.exe (ftp://ftp.altera.com/outgoing/download/quartusii_web_edition/5.1/quartusii_51_web_edition.exe) ftp://ftp.altera.com/outgoing/download/ni..._eval_51_pc.zip (ftp://ftp.altera.com/outgoing/download/nios/niosii_eval_51_pc.zip) Fred --- Quote Start --- originally posted by snadden@Jun 5 2006, 12:31 PM i found the same problem when i set-up a new laptop recently: i could not find quartus 5.1 anywhere on the altera website as it had been replaced with version 6.0. luckily i had a copy of version 5.1 on a cd which came with my nios dev kit so i used that instead. it would be helpful if altera maintained a page on their website for old versions of the software.

Sorry about this one, folks.
The fact is that there *shouldn't* be any updates in Nios II 6.0 that inherently break eCos or require an update; the installer should not have been imposing that version restriction but it appears that that wasn't the case. Please try the above workaround until we build/upload an eCos update that installs with Nios II 6.0. Thank you for your collective patience!
