Honored ContributorError during download VHDL into fpga
Hi guys,
I'm new in fpga world. I have problem download vhdl code into fpga. I used Nios to download intp fpga board. When I run as -> Nios II hardware , this picture will appear (refer my attachment). I check usb blaster connection. Everything is ok. Same goes when I download .sof file. It successful. Do you have any ideas about my problem? :(9 Replies
Altera_ForumDid you download the correct .sof file? Did you add the System ID component to your SOPC Builder/Qsys design?

Yes..i download the correct .sof file. How can i check System ID component to SOPC Builder?
Thanks in advance - Altera_Forum
The system ID is a component in the SOPC Builder, just like a processor or a I/O port. Go to the component library of the SOPC Builder, Peripherals->Debug and Performance->System ID Peripheral to add it to your project.

I add the system Id peripheral to my project. Then, I compile it again and download .sof file. But, when I try to download at fpga, the same error still appear. Do you have any idea?:(

Check that your "target configuration" is configured correctly (your USB blaster should be selected) and that you configured the FPGA with the correct .sof file.

When I check "target connection", there is no connection. What should I do in order to make the usb blaster connection? I download the correct .sof file.

I don't use the IDE so I don't know how it is called exactly but you should have a button with something like "Hardware Setup" to select your USB blaster. If it doesn't appear straight away try clicking on it several times.

I already did it. Clicking several times. But nothing change :(

I opened Eclipse to have a look. I didn't see anything in the list either, but then I clicked on the "Refresh Connections" button and the cables appeared in the list.
