Honored ContributorTSE IP issue when downloading software application on NIOSII
Hi,
I have a Stratix3 DSP development Kit based on EP3SL150F1152C2N FPGA. I use the Triple Speed Ethernet MegaCore ( 10/100/1000Mb Ethernet MAC with 1000 base-X/SGMII PCS). When I load the design in the FPGA -> OK . But when I load the "simple socket server" software application or other software applications I have this error message : "Using cable "USB-Blaster [USB-0]", device 1, instance 0x00 Pausing target processor: not responding. Resetting and trying again: FAILED Leaving target processor paused". It's strange because there were two weeks I load the"simple socket server" without any error. I didn't make any modifications between this two weeks. Is it possible that FPGA is damaged? Or else ? I know it could be the "reset" signal of Nios2 but it is not. When I use the Triple speed Ethernet IP but without the "10/100/1000Mb Ethernet MAC with 1000 base-X/SGMII PCS" (for example 10/100/1000 Ethernet MAC) I can download software applications on NIOS2. :confused::confused::confused: If you have any question , don't hesitate. Best Regards, Jeremy.15 Replies
Altera_ForumCan you send me your standard design or a link to download it please ?

I downloaded it from this page (http://www.altera.com/products/devkits/altera/kit-siii-host.html).

Thank you.
Indeed, It's not the same design (V8.0 is different from V9.0) but it doesn't work. I have the same error message. It's strange. Jeremy. - Altera_Forum
If you still can't communicate with the Nios CPU with the .sof file compiled by Altera for the kit, then it means that you have a hardware problem on the kit itself. You should contact your distributor to see if they can do anything.

Hi,
I think the same. "My support" said the same also. Anyway, thank for your help. Best Regards, Jeremy.
