Some NIOS FPGA help please?

I need a pointer...

[Matthew1980]

Hey there everyone,

I'm not sure whether this is the right place to post a thread, but here goes.

The company I work for has asked me to do a website that will live on a Microprocessor (much like the one's that sit on a wireless router, you know the one, the gateway) I would like to know if anyone has ever done or knows how to get the php/mysql/apache setup running from a NIOS IDE dev suite for the cyclone II FPGA.

I have the NIOS stuff working, but I have no idea where to look for doing the php stuff.

Any help/advice would be appreciated

Again, probably not the right place to post, so apologies if I have gone against the rules. :-)

Cheers,
MRb

no idea. However, a quick search turned up altera.com which looks to be the manufacturer and their site is loaded with PDFs and support information. I'm assuming you've already been there though?

Hi there coopster,

I was hoping not to admit defeat, but after exchanging numerous emails, it turns out that you can't put that sort of server side parser onto an embedded processor, as amongst other reasons - its read only & it only supports html/gif/jpeg and txt files I think.

So unless I actually write a program to "mimic" for want of a better expression, php, the only way to go is just plain html. Even the supplied server relies on you had coding the $_POST an $_GET requests as they come from the tx an rx lines bewtween the processor and the flash memory (at least I think thats how they function, from what I have digested today)

In other words, back to the drawing board!

Cheers anyway,
MRb
