sopc builder

hello all..

please someone explain to me:confused: ...when i run flash program in NIOS II, it happened to write this in console:

# !/bin/sh# # This file was automatically generated by the Nios II IDE Flash Programmer.# # It will be overwritten when the flash programmer options change.#

cd C:/Users/shuhaida/Desktop/fypku/cell_score_sw/cell_score_sw/Release# Creating .flash file for the project

"$SOPC_KIT_NIOS2/bin/elf2flash" --base=0x02800000 --end=0x2ffffff --reset=0x2800

    Please make sure that you have programmed PLD with valid .sof file before start the flash programming.

    can u please explain more detail? i started new project with veriloq coding and from there it generated the .sof file...it is correct to programmed PLD by this .sof file?

    plz help me:( ...this is my 1st time using Quartus II, nios II and cyclone II.

    If you want to program the flash using Nios IDE flash programmer then your FPGA design must have Nios II processor. Before start designing download the .sof file.

    it could be that the fpga has no nios configuration during your try to access the flash via command line, in fact the fpga could be empty or has a design without a nios core inside

    or ...

    as you use the -timestamp option, the fpga has a different image inside than the one you specified

    for the first possible cause. load the expected fpga image and the try again to programm the flash, for the second cause, update the fpga image or the timestamp value or remoce the timestamp option.

    i had run the .sof and do the SOPC builder in Quartes II..after that only i do the c programming in NIOS II and faced the problem that i mention earlier..

    this were my steps:

    1)create new project by open verilog coding

    2)run the programme and assign pin

    3)tool-programmer:run the .sof file

    4)create sopc builder

    5)create c programming in NIOS II and face problem to flash the programme..

    1st cause:how can i load the expected fpga image?

    2nd cause:how can i do the update?

    Are you using Nios Processor in your design?

    yes..nios II processor...it will be generate using SOPC builder right?

    plz help me..

    -thanks a lot-

    nios II processor i've done using SOPC buider...sof also i've generate in Quartus II..then i start Nios IDE flash programmer...i dont understand about da image Mschmitt said..how can i change it?
