Altera DE2 & NIOS newbie :(

okie.. im aware the next few lines are gonna be very silly, but i really have no idea how to go about this board Altera DE2 and the NIOS 2. I am to use the board for a real time monitoring application for human motion, this is for my Final Year Project. http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif

I have already installed all softwares that came along with the box, but i still cant seem to get acess into the programin console, i have already powered up the board and seen fancy light n display flashing, but thats bout all i have managed to come up with so far http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif

Any form of help or recommendation pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

    you should been provided for tutorials and demonstrations.

    that&#39;s a very good starting point to understand the whole thing.

    you definetly want to get the de2_system cd, see http://www.altera.com/education/univ/mater...-de2-board.html (http://www.altera.com/education/univ/materials/boards/unv-de2-board.html)

    i seem to be having a problem compiling a normal C program i get the following screen:

    **** Incremental build of configuration Debug for project hello_world_0 ****

    make -s all

    "X`which cygpath.exe 2> /dev/null`" was unexpected at this time.

    Build completed

    are there suppose to be so many errors?? its just a simple hello world program http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif

    and when i run the Quartus Programmer for the sof file i get the following error

    Info: Started Programmer operation at Mon Sep 18 02:13:21 2006

    Error: Can&#39;t configure device. Expected JTAG ID code 0x020840DD for device 1, but found JTAG ID code 0x020B40DD.

    Error: Operation failed

    Info: Ended Programmer operation at Mon Sep 18 02:13:21 2006

    the hardware setup is set to the USB port of the blaster, any pointers on how i can over come this?

    Hopeful http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif
