Also Problems with Hello World

Simple answer: This error message occurs when the hardware image which has been programmed into the board doesn't match the one being used to generate the software for your system.

Simple solution: Make sure that you reprogram the board with the current hardware image being used to generate the software for the system. To accomplish this goal, recompile your Quartus II project and download the generated SOF file to the board.

Just remember that any changes you make to your Nios II system in SOPC Builder will cause the Nios II IDE to present this error again.

Additionally, if you are positive that you haven't changed the system, you can by-pass the check of the system ID in the Nios II IDE. To do this, in the Nios II IDE select "Run -> Debug..." and pick your download configuration. In the first tab, uncheck the "Validate Nios II system ID before software download" item. This will prevent the Nios II IDE from checking the system hardware for the system ID.

Hope this helps,

Chris
