BeMicro FPGA-based MCU Evaluation Board

What Driver version worked for you? You said today you could let me know. NIOS2 shell says command not found. Where abouts is the command located?

As far as what I am doing and what is working.

Windows 7 is not working for programming. No Hardware. Same since thursday. The data I want to process is sourced from here.

Windows XP 32 bit. It actually works. I can flash the hardware and everything. It seems to only run for an hour though so that is obnoxious. That should be a lisence issue though. The script runs and will connect to FPGA.

What is working. I can get the data from windows 7 machine, I can process it with the FPGA (I think because the process can take over an hour depending on the speed it is clocked at). I have a nearly working system

What is not working. It seems windows firewall refuses to let me open a port so I can not just open it then the windows 7 server is available (nothing to worry about it is handled). I can not it appears shut off computer and expect the FPGA to start ready to run the TCL file again (I believe I only have an hour of operation). After flashing it the script works fine. (it is possible that I have made a mistake on how its flashed but when done flashing I hit reset to make it actually run my compiled bitstream. On computer restart it will not seem to run and LEDs light up like factory flash.) That having been said.

My Problem. Windows 7 64 bit will not program my BeMicro-SDK board. I get No Hardware in the drop down box.

The JTAG server starts and stops properly and has its listen port apparently correct. The unit provides the proper audio signal when BeMicro-SDK is plugged in on both computers. I have no devices with ! or ? in the device manager. I have disabled the firewall and still no dice on programming. The only difference visually between them is on XP drop down has USB-Blaster and Windows 7 64 bit only had No Hardware. Same installed version etc. Since web edition clearly states 32 bit only maybe that is the issue? Or do you have a Web Edition with a running BeMicro-SDK? The full version I have no idea on the cost but adding it to the device I already paid for makes it less and less desirable to me.

Reason for starting this hellish ride into Altera's software and drivers. I wanted to see what hardware resources it would take to run the previously mentioned script on my windows 7 box. It is thus far worthless as a test of anything but patience. I can not test what I intended to because I can not program and therefore can not use JTAG to actually run the script (TCL file). I will try to get telnet running. I know how hard it is to trouble shoot things where you can not see or actually change anything. I hope to eiher fix it or return it but at this rate will lose more of my money returning it. As far as I am concerned the driver, software, whatever issue is Altera's fault and makes this product defective for me. Since I can not use it as intended. I know being upset will not help get this done any faster. I really hate that Win7 cut RDC and telnet from lower product lines.
