error -- Flash & NIOS2

Hello to all,

i built a stand alone electronics with an EP2C8 fpga and an 2MB flash-ram. I flashed my EPCS4 device with my current design. By the way, i purchased a license for MegaCore functions and i have installed the license.

Now i want to flash the ram with the NIOS2 Flash Programmer, but it doesn't work. I got always the same error message.:(

#!/bin/sh# # This file was automatically generated by the Nios II IDE Flash Programmer.# # It will be overwritten when the flash programmer options change.#

cd C:/altera/FPGA_Projecte/Prj_ARCUS-ORBITER_FlashTest/software/hello_world_0/De

There are no Nios II processors available which match the values specified.

Please check that your PLD is correctly configured, downloading a new SOF

file if necessary.

Have you guys any suggestions to solve this problem???

Many thank's for your help...

Manuel

    Are you sure your FPGA is actually getting programmed with your image from the EPCS4? Can you program the FPGA via JTAG and then try the flash download?

    Check that the values you give to the flash programmer (--sidp=0x00405010

    --id=1624484866 --timestamp=1246526067) are consistent with theSopc system that is currently in your FPGA.
