Kernel Configuration

[Altera_Forum]

Does anyone know if you can use the configure.bat to configure a kernel for custom hardware? The list of hardware target platforms are very specific, and I don't know if you can use the tool to generate a kernel for my own hardware design. How do the device drivers get generated (addresses, irq, etc)? Does it get the information from the .ptf? 

 Thanks, rppolicy

I found hwselect.pl* in a plugins/scripts directory, but when I run it in a bash window, I get a "command not found" error. I am VERY new to Linux, so do I need to do something before I execute it? Please help. 

 Thanks in advance, rppolicy

Follow the uClinux guide in the nios wiki. 

Put away your Windows.  And work on Linux PC.

http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif Still not getting anywhere. The Dev guide didn&#39;t seem to have any reference to hwselect. The hwselect.pl* exists, but I can&#39;t run it on the nios2 bash. We are planning on building a Linux dev station, but there has to be a way to get the hwselect.pl to run in the mean time.
