Can't program NIOS-II, but only in a particular Quartus project (Downloading ELF Process failed)
I'm trying to program a NIOS-II economy on a MAX10 FPGA via Quartus Lite 20.1 and Eclipse Mars.2 4.5.2, but when I do so it pops up an error message saying "Downloading ELF Process failed" and then my C++ code does not run on my FPGA. Poking around, it seems like this is a memory issue, and the console briefly says "Verify failed between address 0x8000000 and 0x80025A3," which corresponds to my sdram at a base address of 0x8000000. Yet, my sdram is connected correctly. I know this because I'm using the same platform designer file that works in a separate Quartus project and nothing relating to sdram was changed (I just removed the PIOs and re-added some new ones for the new project). Beyond this, I do not know why it's not working. I can share any specific relevant files from this project, but I'm not sure which file(s) are relevant here, so please let me know what I should post. I can also privately share the entire project with an Intel employee, e.g. to reproduce this issue, if that would be helpful.719Views0likes1CommentWhen workign with BSP on NIOS 2, Eclipse's tool hangs indefinately
Whenever I try to Generate BSP or access the BSP editor on a NIOS II project (Quartus 20.1 on Debian 10 running in a QEMU VM on an Arch Linux host), it simply sits at the loading stage indefinitely. I have the NIOS II circuit flashed to my FPGA (which also proves that USB forwarding is working), yet it does not work as it should. See the attachment for the screen that it hangs on when Generate BSP is called. Note that the window remains resizable, etc. it just doesn't move on from this screen.2.3KViews0likes4Comments
