Honored ContributorHi,
I have been experiencing exactly the same problem as Rakesh, however in my case trying to bring up my own board design. The error message doesn't provide me much help of what to do next! so... To try and track down things, I've re-hashed the design to avoid all external i/o and run entirely within the EP1C12 I'm targetting. So I have (just) enough on-chip RAM for the alt_main "hello world" application - and to set the onchip_RAM block as as my system code/data memory - but *still* this message appears......? Using cable "ByteBlaster II [LPT 1]", device 1, instance 0x00 Pausing target processor: not responding Resetting and trying again: FAILED Leaving target processor paused The design downloads okay from Quartus - but from the NIOS IDE when I run-target-hardware that message is all I get? Does the reset on NIOS need to be issued for it to work after configuration? I only expected to need to use it as my watchdog reset - At the moment it is tied to VCC on the schematic, since I don't want to debug my external watchdog circuit right now! Has anybody any ideas what I could try next? Thanks! ;O)
