Programming the NiosII with command line

Hi,

I am trying to get familiar with Nios II cyclone III, and trying to program the Nios II with hello_world example comes with the NEEK. However, it is not succeed. Here is my steps.

1. run the ./create-this-app

2. nios2-configure-sof <locate the file, which actually is the standard .sof file>

3. in other terminal, run nios2-terminal

4. in the original terminal, run "nios2-download -g hello_world.elf"

The following is the error message I get.

Using cable "USB-Blaster [USB 3-1.1]", device 1, instance 0x00

Processor is already paused

Reading System ID at address 0x021001C3:

    I fixed it. Thanks

    I used the example from NEEK version8.0 and run it with a version9.1. And that is the problem.

    I fixed it to run the example under version 8.0

    Help!

    I have exactly the same problem. Do you mean you used NEEK files that were generated only for Quartus version 8.0? I'm building my project with Quartus 9.1, all the VHD codes and C code are generated by it but I'm using a Cyclone III board version7.2. Do you think it could be the problem?
