Problem with the MotionFire kit

Hello,

I've acquired a MotionFire kit (a Cyclone III with some motion control hardware attached to it), and I'm trying to get the build environment up and the code to compile. I'm new to HDL, and I'm running into some compile errors that I don't know how to fix.

Here's the error output:

Error (10839): Verilog HDL error at eth_avalon_functions.v(17): declaring global objects is a SystemVerilog feature

Error (10839): Verilog HDL error at eth_avalon_functions.v(28): declaring global objects is a SystemVerilog feature

Error (10839): Verilog HDL error at eth_avalon_functions.v(37): declaring global objects is a SystemVerilog feature

Error (10839): Verilog HDL error at eth_avalon_functions.v(47): declaring global objects is a SystemVerilog feature

Error: Quartus II Analysis & Synthesis was unsuccessful. 4 errors, 19 warnings

Error: Peak virtual memory: 190 megabytes

Error: Processing ended: Thu Aug 19 09:07:09 2010

Error: Elapsed time: 00:00:03

Error: Total CPU time (on all processors): 00:00:03

Error: Quartus II Full Compilation was unsuccessful. 6 errors, 19 warnings

I tried changing the Verilog HDL Input setting in Assignments->Settings->Analysis&Synthesis Settings to SystemVerilog, but that just caused even more compile errors.

Can anyone give me a clue as to how to get this software to build?

Thanks!

    Correct. I'm trying to figure out if I can use the example program to control two servo motors with a single firedriver board.

    like i said i don't think is it possible, mayby if u fill program FireDriver for multiprocessors. The Openfire is only for FireFighter. I think first you need to program FireDriver for multiprocessors and later program FireFighter for Controlling some how this multiprocessros.

    But for now I just don't know how to do that, I know that on Altera.com there is tutorial how to run multiprocessor NIOSII on Cyclone platform, so I think if you figure it out you will be probably can do it on FireDriver board. Of course You need to look on example code of FireDriver board for one motor.

    But for sure just write e-mail to Altera is it possible what you want to do:)

    This weak I will try to figure out error in program which we get in example 'Openfire2'.

    see you soon:)

    Hi kris2288 and ubarch,

    You might have problem using MotionFire reference design in Quartus 10 since latest file available are for Quartus 8.1

    Regards.

    Yes i know that coz i had problems with Quartus project and solved it successfuly. Now i only need make ethernet connection.
