Execution problems

I bought the Nios 2 Evaluation Kit and I successfully ran 'count_binary' example.

After that I've made modifications in Quartus and then I've updated the FPGA with the new .sof file.

Now I'm no more able to execute count_binary. It seems that PC increments correctly through the starting line of the assembly code but sometimes the instructions are not executed correctly.

Any clues?

Thank you.

Marco

    What 'modifications' did you make?

    I've added a number of counters, gates, f/f, 74597, and so on.

    In the sopc builder, I added various gpio, and a user interface logic to a dual port ram.

    I even tried to slow down the cpu clock with no success.

    Are you able to build and execute the example design (without modifications)?

    yes I can!

    I've just solved the problem.

    I can run the modified version by slowing the clock once again. Now I'm involved in locating the problem.

    Cheers,
