hi, I don't see any attachment. Can you please attach again. Also, based on your current description, it seem like completely different with what you reporting in the beginning. Please confirm what is the actual issue that you are facing now.

Hi Sir, Our FAE is in contact with INTEL he raised a case, for the same kit. as per his suggestion as uhd design is complicated version he told to refer a design hdmi tx_rx retransmit i will attach data sheets . so i installed quartus 19.3 prime pro version and for this we have to install NIOS2 ide MANUALLY HENCE WHICH VERSION OF NIOS 2 I HAVE TO INSTALL? I CREATED THE EXAMPLE DESIGN AND LOADED THE SOF FILE . BUT ONE OF THE GRN LED "D8" LED IS BLINKING CONTINUOUSLY. IF I FOUND THE TX RX DATA PATH OK I HAVE SOME DOUBT ON MY DESIGN I WILL INFORM U ABOUT THAT. *Quartus Prime (includes Nios II EDS)* *Size:* 2.8 GB *MD5:* 7C1CDF9CEDCB81C730C5EC3BE15F6398 ** Nios II EDS on Windows requires Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), which requires a manual installation. ** Nios II EDS requires you to install an Eclipse IDE manually. HENCE WHICH VERSION OF NIOS 2 I HAVE TO INSTALL? SO AS PER YOUR OPINION WHICH TOOL I HAVE TO INSTALL? PLS CLEAR MY PROBLEM AS IT IS VERY URGENT FOR OUT TESTING PURPOSE THANKS AND REGRDS d.suvarna

    Hi Sir,

    What do you mean by red mark during compilation? is it compilation error?

    Dear Sir, I installed quartus prime pro version 18.1 and generated TX_RX example design whatever display is coming from GPU source is displaying in SINK MONITOR. NOW- we have to use HDMI RX AND TX IP CORE AND DDR4 MEMORY WITH SOME LOGIC TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN THE CODE . I KNOW VHDL LANGUAGE AND NOT FAMILIAR WITH VERILOG AND NIOS2 SOFTWARE. SO FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR LOGIC WHICH IP CORES I HAVE TO USE . IS NIOS2 COMPULSORY . HOW SHOULD I PROCEED .

    Regarding using which IP cores, it is depend on your application needs. I can't tell you which IP that you need without knowing your needs.

    By the way, quartus also support VHDL.
