21 years agoHi Ole,
Are you using the Microtronix CF component (in the 'tested IP' area of this forum)? If so check to be sure that the files are extracted properly and none are missing... I have used this several times now and the Verilog was always copied over into my design during SOPC Builder generation for me. The next release is 'coming soon'... Sorry I cannot be too specific, but on the engineering side we are in 'test' mode now if that gives you any indication. As for software support there will be several things: We won't have a full fledged software example in the Nios II kit this time, but there will be ways to use CF: I am going to put up some demo code to the forum that tests a CF card and does basic read/write operations (basically the same as in the Microtronix component available for download now, but I've re-factored some of the code and documenation). The eCOS port available from Altera on this forum also includes compact flash support with FAT file system; this is a free download. On the commercial side, there is Micrium's uC/FS (FAT file system support included with this as well), and I believe there is Compact Flash & linux-specific file system support in uClinux from Microtronix. All of these should work with the hardware peripheral.
