I use the ds-5 to debug ucosii on terasic DE-1 SOC. I want to control the FPGA PIO and I add the altera API to do this. But when I debug the program, commands window shows that “Target Message: Could not determine target state” and target consoles window shows that “ERROR 0 returned when checking ACK NCONT_STALL 1” Could someone tell me what the problem is&#65311;

In commands.txt is visible that address for download program is 0x00100000. In Altera CV SoC present onchip 64K from 0, 64K from FFFF0000 and SDRAM from 0x02000000. See and edit your "ucosii.ds" to set appropriate start of image, may be recompile all.

the ucosii.ds only has two lines: stop file "$sdir/ucosii.axf" and I change it to stop loadfile "$sdir/ucosii.axf" 0x0xFFFF0000 but still cannot work.

Need will find 00100000 and change -- may in linker script for compiling .axf, in other Debug Configuration settings... Program in this SoC may be loaded in 02000000 ! Project ucosii may be from other board ? P.S. Zip all and include here -- standard method :)

The project ucoii downloaded from the Micrium.com and run on the Altera’s Cyclone V SoC Development Kit. I can debug the orginal ucosii project on my terasic's DE1-SoC development board, Now,I want to use the HPS to control FPGA's pio,and I add altera's API to bring up the bridges,just like the HardwareLibs project does. however,this project come up some problems when I debug it on my board. The first attachment is the orginal project from the Micrium.com. The second attachment is the project with wrong problems. The pdf explain how to running Micri&#956;m’s &#956;C/OS-II kernel on Altera’s Cyclone V SoC Development Kit.

Both your projects located on D: with SoC EDS and occupy a long time to compiling. May not include hard path to includes and compilator tools to EDS project and use external system variable as "set SoC_Dir=D:\Altera\14...". In Embedded Command Shell even exist "SOCEDS_DEST_ROOT" for this puspose and run "eclipse" from console. Your address 0x00100000 is from linker-script "cycloneV-dk-ram-hosted.ld", which used in 166th line of "Makefile" ! In previous version was used only "ucosii.lds" with 64K of "hi" mem FFFF0000, and with adding HWLIB project size exceed 64K and somebody add new region"ram" from this .ld. I change this .ld to "altera-socfpga-hosted.ld" from other example, and in "ucosii.map" not seed 0x00100000 region, only 0x02000000, loadable to DDR correctly. However, in Altera examples meet both "altera-socfpga-hosted.ld" and "cycloneV-dk-ram-hosted.ld", and both work in its projects ! It is uncomprehensible. And after loading ucosii.axf can't stop running in main() -- this symbol is not found, I change init-script to usual for _GNU-example-applications to big "debug-hosted.ds": there present necessary init of DDR with Preloader and then loading of ucosii.axf.

I think the original project uocsii skips the process of loading the preloader,just like the “u-boot-spl.axf” in project hwlib, and runs on the on chip ram.
I add the hwlib in ucos and exceed the on chip ram limit.
So I use the ”debug-hosted.ds“ to load the “u-boot-spl.axf” to initial the SDRAM and other peripherals.but some errors come out when loading the ucosii.axf.
is there any method to solve this problem？

Your region of memory "0x00100000" at first is good ("Loaded section .text: S:0x00100000 ~ S:0x0010E297 (size 0xE298)" is successful), and after "+start" bad image ("Entry point S:0x0010B298") is damage all.
If you make image ucosii.axf with "Entry point S:0x00100000" or "Entry point S:0x00100040", then running will be ideal.
If running was even from 0x0010B298 ("Running from entry point"), Preloader don't know about this.
Use Disassembler window to stepping in asm-mode, load your bad "D:\my_experiment\hwlib\Micrium\Software\EvalBoards\Altera\Cyclone-V-Dev-Kit\GNU\Ex-1\ucosii.axf" with "loadfile" command after runned to main() Altera-s HWLIB example, as I describe long ago.
If my words is incomprehensible, ask greater ! You must see start of normal application with "B" on begin and your ucosii.axf with function codes at start.
Method will be in tuning linker scripts, I don't know there.
Or ask UCOS site, may there is solutions.
