Fail in run as "Nios II hardware"

Hello,

I am using Quartus II 4.2 and Nios II Development kit 1.1. After programming the standard processor, I try to run the C/C++ project into the board. I always obtain the following error:

"using cable "byteblastermv [lpt1]", device 1, instance 0x00

pausing target processor: not responding.

resetting and trying again: failed

leaving target processor paused"

Note: I restarted the board many times and always getting the same error.

My best regards,

Julia

    What board and hardware design are you using?

    Hi Chris,

    I am using Cyclone EP1C20F400C7 device, and a C/C++ application I implemented.

    Thanks in advance,

    Julia.

    The JTAG has very poor noise immunity and can easily suffer double-triggering.

    Make sure all cables are as short as possible.

    Alternatively put schmitt buffers on your board for the JTAG signals to avoid double-triggering.

    Typically I get that message when I have incorrectly assigned my pins and the system is not functioning properly as a result. Are you basing the hardware design off of one of the example designs in the kit or something you have created manually?

    Hi,

    I assigned all the pins and I am trying now with the hello world application. It works for sometime and then suddenly it stops working and give me again error: "Pausing target processor: not responding."

    or

    "Using cable "ByteBlasterMV [LPT1]", device 1, instance 0x00

    Pausing target processor: OK

    Reading System ID at address 0x021208B8: does not match

    ID value does not match: read 0xC34A4322; expected 0xC64D2E14

    Timestamp value does not match: image on board is older than expected

    Read timestamp 15:23:42 2006/06/22; expected 18:22:19 2006/06/22

    The software you are downloading may not run on the system which is currently

    configured into the device. Please download the correct SOF or recompile.

    Restarting target processor"

    Thanks,

    Julia.
