Honored ContributorCan not do TryOutuClinux!
Hi,
This days, I am trying to resolve the problem about running the uClinux in Altera Nios dev board, mentioned in my last post, so many methods I've tried, even followed the steps in TryOutuClinux in nioswiki, but there is only one result, failed. here is the information system gives me: >>Using cable "USB-Blaster [USB-0]", device 1, instance 0x00 >>Pausing target processor: not responding. >>Resetting and trying again: FAILED >>Leaving target processor paused I am so sad with this problem. I am afraid the dev board is broken, that will be terrible. Anyone got idea?11 Replies

Please try a Hello world example on IDE/HAL running from SDRAM.

Hi, hippo,
I build the hello world project with the standard .sof file in C:\altera\kits\nios2\examples\verilog\niosII_stratix_1s10\standard, and following is the result! nios2-terminal: connected to hardware target using JTAG UART on cable nios2-terminal: "USB-Blaster [USB-0]", device 1, instance 0 nios2-terminal: (Use the IDE stop button or Ctrl-C to terminate) Hello from Nios II! - Altera_Forum
That seems good. It looks like the sdram works.
I have already reinstalled the Quartus and Nios IDE, but uClinux can not be booted where is the problem?
