15 years agoHelp needed! thx
hello, when i run my program as NiosII hardware in nios2 ide, the following error msg appeared:
Using cable "USB-Blaster [USB-0]", device 1, instance 0x00 Pausing target processor: OK Reading System ID at address 0x01203080: verified Initializing CPU cache (if present) OK Downloading 00800000 ( 0%) Downloading 00810000 (81%) Downloaded 79KB in 1.3s (60.7KB/s) Verifying 00800000 ( 0%) Verify failed between address 0x800000 and 0x80FFFF Leaving target processor paused I dont know what happen. at that address is SDRAM. can anyone help me? thanks!10 Replies

I found the solution. I had to use 2 clock signals from pll. One for sdram and one for fpga. Then it works.

I double checked pin assignments, sdram controller config and still my sdram doesn't work. I can attach some screenshots. Could someone looked at it then?

--- Quote Start --- Where was the problem, cause I've got the same situation? --- Quote End --- I think, you should check the pin assignments of SDRAM. Were all the pins are located correctly?You should also check that some output pins of your SDRAM may be bidirectional. - Altera_Forum

Is it a custom FPGA project? Try to run a memory test from on-chip memory and test the sdram.
You probably have a timing problem. Check the settings in the memory controller, that your clocks are properly declared in Timequest, that your input/outputs are properly constrained, that your design meet the timing requirements and that you provide a clock with the correct phase shift to the sdram. - Altera_Forum

Is this one of those DE2 or DE2-70 board?

What RAM is at failed memory address?
