NEEK Cyclone III edition problem

I am trying to create a simple project like Hello World or counter. I made a design but always getting error like;

    Anyway, thanks for help Cris72 but finally i gave up trying. i changed my kit.

    Now im working with DE2-70 and my design works.

    but i have new problem like,

    ../hello_world.c: In function `test1_led':

    ../hello_world.c:24: error: `IOWR_ALTERA_AVALON_PIO_DATA' undeclared (first use in this function)

    ../hello_world.c:24: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

    ../hello_world.c:24: error: for each function it appears in.)

    ../hello_world.c:24: warning: left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect

    ../hello_world.c:26: error: `PIO_RED_LED_BASE' undeclared (first use in this function)

    ../hello_world.c:26: error: syntax error before "led_mask"

    ../hello_world.c:28: warning: implicit declaration of function `usleep'

    ../hello_world.c:30:2: warning: no newline at end of file

    ../hello_world.c:30: error: syntax error at end of input

    my code;

    # include "system.h"

    # include "altera_avalon_pio_regs.h"

    # include "alt_types.h"

    void test1_led(void){

    alt_u32 led_mask=0;

    while(1){

    // green led control

    // red led control

    (IOWR_ALTERA_AVALON_PIO_DATA, led_mask); PIO_RED_LED_BASE

    // toggle led

    led_mask ^= 0xFFFFFFFF;

    // sleep 0.2 second

    usleep(200*1000);

    } // while

    (IOWR_ALTERA_AVALON_PIO_DATA, led_mask); PIO_RED_LED_BASE
    What is this?!? :confused:

    It should be: 

    IOWR_ALTERA_AVALON_PIO_DATA(PIO_RED_LED_BASE,  led_mask);

    Also make sure that PIO_RED_LED_BASE is the correct define name for the pio (refer to system.h).

    Actually, i dont know how to use variables in Nios II codes.

    in my SOPC design;

    "led" and "switch" are my pio names so can you help me how to read value or position of switches and how can i change values of leds.

    Look into system.h file.

    You'll find the *_BASE defines for every sopc peripheral.

    Use those of led and switch pio ports to read and write pio status.

    For example if these were LED_BASE and SWITCH_BASE you write:

    IOWR_ALTERA_AVALON_PIO_DATA(LED_BASE, led_mask); to set led status

    sw = IORD_ALTERA_AVALON_PIO_DATA(SWITCH_BASE); to get switch status

    Then, what's the problem? You have to write:

    IOWR_ALTERA_AVALON_PIO_DATA(LED_PIO_BASE, led_mask);

    Examples:

    IOWR_ALTERA_AVALON_PIO_DATA(LED_PIO_BASE, 0xffff);

    All LEDs on

    IOWR_ALTERA_AVALON_PIO_DATA(LED_PIO_BASE, 0);

    All LEDs off

    IOWR_ALTERA_AVALON_PIO_DATA(LED_PIO_BASE, 0x0003);

    Turn on LEDs connected to pio pins 0 and 1, off the others

    IOWR_ALTERA_AVALON_PIO_DATA(LED_PIO_BASE, 0x050c0);

    Turn on LEDs connected to pio pins 2,3,8,10, off the others

    I just did succesfully before i read what you post.

    Now i am trying to read button values

    My fool.

    I added keys on my SOPC design but i was trying to control leds with switches. :)

    Thanks again Cris. I am appreciated.
