Problems with Cyclone III - NIOS II Embedded Evaluation kit

Hi, thanks for the reply. Sounds like your luck was better than mine. I did realize that the sample apps are worthless, so I'll end up starting from a new project and just try to blink lights and use the buttons. After that, it looks like I'll have to make a custom board for that special connector if I want to do anything useful.

I ended up getting everything to work, but the weird thing is that I somehow "jump started" the board by power cycling it a bunch of times, with one of the buttons pressed. After I did that, it always booted fine...

Unfortunately, now I have less time available to work on the devkit, so we'll see when I ever get something together. Have you gotten a simple app with lights and the buttons working? If so, would you mind posting your quartus project? :)

Thanks!
