regarding RTOS in NIOS II

hi everyone

    i am trying to use RTOS in NIOS processor. After going through its
documentation i found that UC/OS2 and UClinux are the two versions
avaliable. I am interfacing my design to a Ethernet. i am using a DE2
board. i found that UClinux has got native TCP/IP protocols that wil
help in easy interfacing of the WLAN module which i am using.
  But the problem what i am facing is i dont have a license in linux
version software. i have it for windows. also according what i read in
documentations UClinux can be used only in Linux platform.
  So what shall i do now. Is programming in US/OS2 the only
alternative. or can i do somethin so that i can program the uclinux in
linux and migrate it onto a windows sytem and use it in my design

Hi Sriman,

Just note that UClinux isn't a true "Real-Time" operating system - RTOS. 
   It is more considered and "Embedded OS". However, there apparently 
are real-time "extensions" such as RTLinux and RTAI that can be used to 
make it "real-time".

But if you don't need your OS to be a "real-time" OS but just need the 
TCP/IP stack, UCLinux is suitable.
