    Hi


    Could you try using the nios2 download command instead of the niosV?


    nios2-download / software/tx_control/tx_control.elf -g -r -i 1


    Just take not to close your nios uart terminal before downloading the nios2 elf.

    Hi Jingyang,

    Your solution solved the problem, but I still have two questions.

    1. I programmed the board with the SOF file and opened the Nios II terminal, following the instructions mentioned in the example manual. However, I couldn't see any output in the terminal or on the monitor. I used a Quantumdat M21 as a data generator (and analyzer), but nothing happened. Do you have any recommendations?

    2. Is it possible to do this example with Quartus Pro 24.1 and Nios V? I tried following the manual, but I couldn't execute niosv-download in that version, so I reverted to version 23.4.
