Issue after upgrading a Nios V/g core from version 1.0.0 to 4.0.0
- 1 year ago
Hi,
Thank you very much for your suggestions. I checked them all, but I was not successful.
However, this issue could be fixed as follows.
The "Branch Prediction" option of the Nios V/g 4.0.0 IP was enabled (24.1std).
This option is unavailable for the Nios V/g 1.0.0 IP (23.1std).
I used the software debugger (OpenOCD and riscv32-unknown-elf-gdb) and noted that branches were never taken.
My program has some branches that are taken and output messages on the display.
After unchecking the "Branch Prediction" checkbox, the issue was solved, and the program ran correctly.
Perhaps the issue lies in the branch prediction module of the Nios V/g 4.0.0 IP.
Regards.
Domingo.
@Benitez__Domingo is there any way you could provide sample code for your issue? We would like to investigate this further internally. Your case might help us to do this.
Thanks!
