Ddr2 hp

my sopc system includes A nios , a pio, an onchip memory ,and a ddr2 hp .

I want to use the ddr2 chip as my NIOSII program's running space.so,in IDE,i set the program memory (.text ) to the ddr2.

but when i debug(the program is a simple test program),the IDE tell me :

download is success.but verify is error.(the error address is my ddr2's address)!

otherwise , i use a ddr2 chip : SAMSUNG K4T41163QG-HCF7.

i don't know what's happened in ny system. there is something wrong in my DDR2 HP setting , SOPC timing clouser,or somewhere?

somebody can tell me how to use the DDR2 hp?

thanks a lot!

    It seems there is a communication problem to your ram.

    Have you analyzed the timing in your system?

    Are you using Classic or Timequest timing analyzer?

    You can add Onchip-RAM to your system, and run the memtest-template from it to check your RAM hardware.

    Hi,

    Did you solve the problem what you have mentioned above?

    We are also facing the similar problem. We changed the micron to samsung device, the NIOS hello world program stopped working at DDR address.

    What was the issue, How did you solve this problem. Please reply.
