I have the 8.1 version of quartus2. I have taken some screenshots for a better explaination of my design chain.

In PIC1 you see the sopc builder gui with the actuall design. Take a look to the pop up with the current timestamp and note the designname "...\processor.sopc

After generation i placed the processor in my schematic and complied it. Now I have to convert the *.sof file in a *.pof file (in my case TestFile.pof) for a EPCS4 device. PIC2

In PIC3 you see the message of a successfull programming operation. Now the design should run on the fpga.

After that, I checked the processor.ptf file (PIC4) and the system.h file (PIC5). Both timpestamps are equal, but if you compare it with the timestamp in PIC1 you will see a mistake. They doesn't match. :( Could it be???

p.s. many thank's for your help...
