    Did the SOPC generation pass with out any problem?

    Try the small Hello world by Altera.

    It is very small memory size program.

    See if it OK?

    Hi, I had this problem too, but in the SOPC Builder generation, not the IDE, and I found some tips on the web.

    In my case, it was an incompatibility between cygwin and a Mac Afee feature (memory overflow protection).

    Some might have the problem with others antivirus like Norman or Panda.

    Try to deactivate your antivirus and test.

    One more thing, be sure to have only one version of cygwin (Quartus ones) installed on your computer, if not, rename all cygwin1.dll.

    Good luck.

    Hello...

    Now, i am doing my project to transfer image between host computer (PC) and FPGA DE2 Altera via USB and display it into monitor. I am still new in using NIOS II Processor. First, I try to buil project USB Device given in Altera CD (DE2_NIOS_DEVICE_LED.sof). But, i found error when building project like below:

    "The software setting (STF) file associated with this project is damaged. This may be fixed by copying your source files into new C/C++ application project. For more details see the error log."

    What should i do? What is the meaning of copying source file into new C/C++ application project?

    Thank you

    Do you have spaces in the path to your project? If yes move it to a folder whose name doesn't have any spaces.

    Hi,

    I do face this kind of problem

    make -s all includes

    Creating generated_all.mk...

    5 [main] ? (2692) c:\altera\91\quartus\bin\cygwin\bin\sh.exe: *** fatal error - couldn't allocate heap, Win32 error 487, base 0x680000, top 0x690000, reserve_size 61440, allocsize 65536, page_const 4096

    I am using Nios II 9.1 IDE and Nios II SBT for Eclipse. Unfortunately, both platform also gave me this error. I have disabled all the Anti virus software and Logitech web cam, May I know what cause this error?
