Error "Pausing target processor: not responding." with VIP

Hi All

I 'm in the last year of my master in microelectronic and I make a project with image processiong.

I try to use this VIP:

Clocked Video Input

Color Plane Sequencer

Frame Buffer

Color Plane Sequencer

two Clocked Video Outup, one for the 800x600 and the other for the VGA.

I use the tPad Eval Board.

I have also still open the Standalone Programmer for JTAG connection, but I became still this Error Message after compilation in Nios:

Using cable "USB-Blaster [USB-0]", device 1, instance 0x00

Pausing target processor: not responding.

Resetting and trying again: FAILED

Leaving target processor paused

In Nios I try first the simple hello_world software...

Could anywhere help me please.

Thanks alot

Antonio

    Did you upload an FPGA image with a Nios CPU in? Is it an example design or a custom one?

    If it's a custom one, check that the clocks are working and that you connected the reset signal properly (the reset_n input of the SOPC component is active low).

    Thanks for the fast answer...

    I could fix the bug, I changed the CPU performance on "e", now my custom design works well...
