Honored ContributorI just tried another design I wrote (but I can't test it while my connector doesn't arrive) and the characters aren't echoed, so the other design is working. I can see what I type because it is being echoed. I always thought that HyperTerminal would be simple to use, but when I had to use it, I couldn't remember if the thing I type were shown there.
But now everything is solved. Yay! Thank you all. :)Honored ContributorIs there an Ethernet Example for the Bemicro SDK? (Blue board)
Honored ContributorHonored ContributorHi,
I've a BeMicro SDK evaluation board with beinmotion kit. I am stuck at the Quartus II compilation for "BeInMotion_lab" tutorial. I get errors like: --- Quote Start --- Error (12252): BeInMotion_qsys.: add_interface_port: input not allowed for Direction, must be in {[Input, Output, Bidir]} . . . Error (12252): BeInMotion_qsys.pll.inclk_interface_reset: Signal reset of type reset must have direction of ýnput . . . Error (12252): BeInMotion_qsys.cpu.d_irq: "Interrupt scheme" (irqScheme) out of range Error (12252): BeInMotion_qsys.: add_interface_port: input not allowed for Direction, must be in {[Input, Output, Bidir]} . . . Error (12252): BeInMotion_qsys.pll.inclk_interface_reset: Signal reset of type reset must have direction of ýnput Error (12252): BeInMotion_qsys.: Port clk has type std_logic which is not supported --- Quote End --- Do you have any idea what might be the problem? I'm running Quartus II 11.1 sp1 on Windows Xp 32-bits. Thanks, SinanHonored ContributorThis is the complete ethernet project.
http://www.microtronix.com/ip-cores/arrow-bemicro-memory-controller-evaluation-license (http://www.microtronix.com/ip-cores/arrow-bemicro-memory-controller-evaluation-license) In Quartus under tools and license setup, you can merge the license.dat file with the time limited one provided by MicroTronix. When running the projects under Nios, you must leave the Quartus II Programmer open. It has a one-hour timer that requires you to reprogram after an hour.Honored ContributorAnother good option is to turn on the debug printout. Right click in your BSP project and select NIOS II then BSP Editor. Go to the Main Tab, Settings>Advanced>hal>log_flags and log_port. Set Flags value to 1 and Port value to jtag_uart.
Also, under Settings>Common>hal make sure the sys_clk_timer is set to sys_timer and the timestamp_timer set to high_res_timer. After changes, make sure to Generate, Save and then right click on your bsp project and go to NIOS II>Generate BSP.Honored ContributorThe Microtronix download has an example in the examples folder named bemicro_socket and bemicro_socket_bsp. Merge these files into your NIOS project as they are like the simple socket server template in NIOS but have the network_utilities.c file modified to work with the BeMicro board. Or, you can use the NIOS simple socket server template and copy the network_utilites.c file from Microtronix into that project.
When you build a project from the template, make sure you start NIOS as administrator or the project won't build correctly.Honored ContributorI am having the issue posted on page 1. I have installed the quartus 11.0 web pack, and Microtronix DDR core not just unzipped but installed the executable. I have imported the lisence as in sec 1.5 of instructions. I have the BeMicro-SDK and Windows7 64 bit. I have no hardware option to program it. Is this a newer windows problem a 64 bit problem or did I miss something different?
all help is appreciated!Honored ContributorHonored ContributorI have the blue board with the ethernet connector. I have in system properties Altera USB Blaster device under USB in device manager. I have NO Hardware Option to use to program my FPGA. It is the SDK version Ethernet port and all Blue board yes sir. I am aware of what I purchased. I am aware that in 3 full days I have been unable to find a solution to this. Linking the older style is neat but I will try to find something on USB Blaster. Was hoping to get this working as the instructions are quite clear on installing the software, drivers etc. I have the drivers installed. Plug in unit and it is detected properly. I have the software installed Both lisences setup.
