even when you have limited time, the fastest way is still working on Linux.

first, try out the prebuild image,

http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operating...s/tryoutuclinux (http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operatingsystems/tryoutuclinux)

follow this to install colinux on your windows xp.

http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operating...ms/nios2colinux (http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operatingsystems/nios2colinux)

then install binary toolchain to colinux and install uClinux-dist-test,

Thank you very much for you answer, i'm going to solve this problem in linux now ,even though i'm not very familiar with it , would you please show me the flow? i still cannot find a development environment for my de2 board under linux, how can i go on my work without Quartus and NIOSII? thus ,the most important thing for me now is find out a suitable develop software under linux.

You should try out the zImage first. It will give you hand on immediately.

If you have extra PC to run Linux, you can install Fedora Core 5 .

Otherswise, you can install colinux on your windows xp.

look at the wiki,

1. in quartus, open the project DE2_System/DE2_demonstrations/DE2_NET/

tool->programmer , program the sof to your board.

2. use web brower to download the zImage_de2_net file to a dir, eg, c:/temp

http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operating.../zimage_de2_net (http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operatingsystems/%c2%b5clinux/tryoutuclinux/zimage_de2_net)

3. from Windows Start-->Programs-->Altera-->Nios II 6.0 -->Nios II Command Shell

4. in nios2 command shell, cd to that dir,

cd /cygdrive/c/temp

nios2-download -g zImage_de2_net

5. then

nios2-terminal

nioswiki.jot.com is not working ... any alternative or any straightforward solution to download uclinux on ALtera de2 board for new bie .. thanks in advance ...

AFAIK, there is no prebuilt Linux for NIOS. It is a work in progress and needs to be tweaked according to the application anyway.

see: http://www.alterawiki.com/wiki/linux_for_the_nios_ii_processor
