get work a LCD 16207 on cyclone IV Gx

Hello,

I would like to send a character or a chain character to a LCD 16207 16x2. I have integrated the Lcd, the nios on QSYS and everything, I have created a project on Quartus II and assigned all pins correctly.

In Eclipse, I wrote a program just for cleaning the LCD but It doesn't work..

All functions and drivers are already written in file.h, I just have to initialize some variables but even tought, It doesn't work. Does anyone already has a problem like that and can help me?

Thanks a lot!

Tiff.

    I integrated this block in a Stratix IV with quartus 12.0 and it worked(I didn't write the SW for it). But there is a big however, the block was written for a clock of 50MHz and all timings are fixed. So clocking at an higher speed can be a problem for the LCD timings. Maybe this is already fixed in the new quartus versions (but i doubt altera fixes bugs, they only seems to create more bugs). It might be best to check the timings with a scope first(or signaltap).
