Problem following I2C Remote System Upgrade Example (Max 10)

Hello Everybody. I am an old timer from the Altera Forum. First timer posted on the Intel Forum.

I've been trying to follow the I2C Remote System Upgrade Example (Max 10) for a week now (see attached user guide in pdf). I have bought both the Max 10 Eval kit and Max 10 Development kit as described in the user guide. I followed the instructions to the letter:

• P.g. 11 Programming Master Image into Max 10M50 - Done
• P.g. 11 Programming Slave Image 1 into Max 10M08 - Done
• P.g. 13 Programming Slave Images 1 and 2 into CFM 1 and 2 on Max 10M50 - Done
• P.g. 16 Setup the USB-To-UART System - Done
• P.g. 16 Send Slave Image 1 and Slave Image 2 Via UART
  • Here, I did everything up to step 3, where I need to reset the Nios processor by pressing USER_PB3 button and expect something to show up in the terminal window..😭 But I don't see anything from my terminal window

I am suspecting that my Nios processor in Max 10 wasn't up and running, but there's no indicator to tell.

I did NOT physically connect the I2C bus between these two boards yet, but I don't think that is the issue.

I noticed that the Max 10 Development kit has a dip switch (SW2) on the bottom side of the PCB for configuration (i.e. BOARD SETTING DIPSWITCH). Does these switch need to configure in certain configuration to follow the sample? The document didn't mention anything in that regard.

Did anyone follow this example and managed to get it working?

Thanks

Yi
