Hi all, I have problem during setting Nios II Flash programmer. The problems are "system ID hash" not found and "system timestamp" not found. what should i do to connect the "system ID hash" and "system timestamp". Do you have any suggestion or idea regarding my problem. Kindly review the picture attached. Thanks in advance :)

Are you sure you uploaded the correct .sof image to the FPGA first? Does your hardware project include the system ID component?

Dear Daixiwen, Thank you for your concern. I already solve the problem. But now, there is another problem happen. This error appeared (refer my attachment) when I try to download the ELF file using flash programmer. Do you have any suggestion or idea about that? Thanks in advance :)

One of the IPs you are using isn't licensed. You can't flash your design without buying the license first. From this lineVendor: 0x6AF7, Product: 0x00A2It looks like it is the Nios II CPU. Try to switch to the Nios II/e core, that doesn't require a license. (If you are running Quartus II 10 or newer).

Dear Daixiwen, Thanks for your prompt reply. If you dont mind, how to switch from Nios II CPU to Nios II/e core? Thanks for your strong support :)

Go into SOPC builder / QSys, double click on the cpu component, and from there you should find atab where you can select the core type, between the /e, /s and /f variants.

Where can I check the assembler report? I only know compilation report. If you dont mind, can you teach me.

Thanks in advance

Dear Daixiwen,

I already look at Assembler report. It shows Licensed type. Does it mean I need to buy the license?

No it looks fine, you don't have any unlicensed core in your project. Could you look at the "Generated Files" report (just under Encrypted Cores Summary) and verify that it generated a .pof file?
Then go back to the Nios II programmed and verify that you really have the exact same error and not a new one, because I don't understand why you would still have a license problem when flashing the project.

Dear Daixiwen,

I checked at "Generated Files". It generate .pof file. However, i still get the same error. No new error appear.

Error code: 3 for command: sof2flash --input="H:/altera/RnI_Fest/barcodesystem/scanner_time_limited.sof" --output="H:/altera/RnI_Fest/barcodesystem/software/barcode_bsp/flash/scanner_time_limited_epcs_flash_controller.flash" --epcs --verbose

Thanks.

The .sof file should be called scanner.sof and not scanner_time_limited.sof. Maybe it is still pointing to the old .sof file instead of the new one.
