Hi,

I would like to simulate a Linux image (for example the vmlinux-de0_nano) on the DE0 RTL and later on a modified version.

All my attempts failed to build the GNU compiler toolchain (see may recently submitted threads on this forum) so I was hoping to get a .hex file which I can use for my simulation.

It is highly appreciated if s.o. could send me (or point me to) the � vmlinux-de0_nano.hex� or to the .hex file of any other working Linux program.

Thanks a lot for your help in advance.

Cheers, Tobias

Details as explained here:

The svn command is not working for me, as it always default to "null" user.

But I can go in via browser:

(username = anonymous and password = anonymous).

Your requested image can be found in "precompiled" directory.

Hi tthtlc,

thanks for trying to help.

I don't need a Nios Linux image.

I was not precise enough with my question. I need to run Linux on the ORSoC which is synthesized on the DE0.

It is till highly appreciated, if s.o. can send me Linux.hex file, which can be simulated on the ORSoC DE0 RTL.

Unfortunately the pre-build and build-from-source-makes don't work on my Ubuntu (please see my latest threads on this forum).

Thanks for your help in advance.

Cheers, Tobias

There is a prebuilt linux image available in the de0-nano workshop material,
along with other information you might find useful.

Hi stekern,

thanks for trying to help.

Sure I have been on that page, otherwise I would have asked for vmlinux-de0_nano.

As I write in my post, I need a .hex file for simulation, not the actual image for downloading. I cannot find this vmlinux-de0_nano.hex on that page.

It is still highly appreciated, if s.o. can send me Linux.hex file, which can be simulated on the ORSoC DE0 RTL.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Cheers, Tobias

I don't know what type of hex file you need (there are several different formats),
but here's a .bin that you can convert to your liking.

A word of advise though, you seem to be jumping from issue to issue, try
to get your problems with the toolchain sorted out first...

Hi stekern,

thanks for trying to help.

The .bin file is of no help, considering the fact that I don't have a running tool(-chain) to convert it.

It is no problem to write a wrapper/converter that converts any kind of readable .hex file.

It is still highly appreciated, if s.o. can send me a Linux.hex file (any readable format is welcome), which can be simulated on the ORSoC DE0 RTL.

Thanks for your help in advance,

Cheers, Tobias

I'm not only trying, I am helping you...
You don't need the toolchain to convert a raw binary file to .hex,
there are a plethora of tools out there that will do that for you,
http://srecord.sourceforge.net/ is one of them.

You don't need someone to send you a .hex, there are a plethora of tools
out there that will convert the .bin to any file format you like,
http://srecord.sourceforge.net/ is one of them.

stekern, please stop this, thanks.

Stop what?
You are the one being obnoxious ignoring the help you've already got and keep posting the same question over and over again.

I don't know why I'm doing this, it's probably casting pearls before swine...
Here is the file you most probably is asking for, but since you haven't been
able to explain what kind of file you really want we can't be sure:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/w4kclampdn58pta/vmlinux-de0_nano.vmem

It's a hex file in the VMEM format, suitable for reading with the verilog
$readmemh command.
It's conveniently generated from the .bin I already gave you with the tool I pointed you to.

srec_cat vmlinux-de0_nano.bin -Binary -Output vmlinux-de0_nano.vmem -VMEM

Why you needed me to do this for you is beyond my understanding...

Stefan, thank you for calling me a swine.

Oh, please... it's a well known figure of speak...
But, if it pleases you, you're welcome.

Stefan
