help about cycloneII sdr sdram

I'm having a rather odd problem and I was wondering whether anyone else has experienced it.

I'm using a sdram chip(MT48LC4M16A2-75) in my project.The FPGA is EP2C20Q240C8. In fact we reused the schematics from a previous project and repinned the FPGA. The only difference is that it's a Cyclone II instead of a Cyclone part.

When I run the programme in the sdram ,it always show "verify failded".Are there any diffrences between cycloneII and cyclone?

There are no problem on the physical board.

Thanks for your help.

    Thank you for your help!

    When I used the cyclone,I didn't give delay between the sdram and sdram controler.It work well.

    Sorry, I don't know about the differences between Cyclone and Cyclone II according to sdr sdram, but I also use a sdr sdram with a Cyclone II FPGA.

    I got this error "verify failed", when I didn't give a delay to the clock for the sdram. Between the clock for the sdram controller and the sdram, there should be a delay of 90 degree or some ns.

    If this might be your problem, also check out "Quartus II Handbook Volume 5: Embedded Peripherals -> Section I. Memory Peripherals -> Chapter 1. SDRAM Controller Core" for more information.

    Hope this helped.
