System ID issue

Hi everyone,

I am working in a project using Quartus v11.0. The Bsp was created using Qsys.

*obs: The project was updated/converted from SOPC Builder to Qsys...

So, I am having problems to load the application into the FPGA. Attached is the problem that I have. No System ID found and timestamp.

I have a feeling that the problem is based on my BSP file. Because, the flash programmer cant see the System ID (probally NOT a software issue...so).

Did anyone had this experience before?? What all I need to have in Qsys to set he system ID??

Thank You very much

Thank You for your help evveryting you say make sense, but I cant get it to work.
I think the problem is with the block that I am trying to update in Quartus. The block might not be updating right. the funny thing is that if I try to open the block it the sysID component shows up there with the base address that I gave. I wonder what might be causing this confusion. How do I make sure the block in Quaturs is update riht?

Thanks

You could try and clean the project (delete the db and incremental_db folders, and all the generated .sof, .ptf and .sopcinfo files) and recompile in the right order: QSys, then Quartus, then software (clean project + compile). Then upload the configuration in the FPGA (and check if you should upload a _time_limited.sof instead of the regular .sof) and finally the software. I don't know any other way.
