need help for niosII 9.1 flash programmer

when I use USB-Blaster to program flash,it always stop and there are some words say:

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

Resetting and pausing target processor:FAILED

Leaving target processor paused

below is one line of red words say:

Error code:4 for command:$SOPC_KIT_NIOS2/bin/nios2-flash-programmer"E:/gmr_prog/pro_v2/flash/gmr_sys_v2_cfi_flash.flash"-base=0x200000-sidp=0x50110A0-id=0x7193BE6F-accept-bad-sysid-device=1-instance=0'-cable=USB-Blaster[USB-0]"-program-verbose

how can I resolve this problem?

thank you !

    The FAILED line is the one you need to resolve, first. I've seen this is a number of cases, but it usually happens to me when I connect the clocks/resets incorrectly.

    Hi,

    I'm in the process of migrating a SOPC design to QSYS (using Quartus II version 11.1sp1). Doing so, I was checking that things are working as they should. When using the Flash Programmer inorder to program the flash memory device, I was getting the Error code 4 message when using the Flash Programmer:

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

    Resetting and pausing target processor:FAILED

    Leaving target processor paused

    "Error code:4 for command:..."

    It turned of that in my case "faulty" connections in QSYS was causing the error message. I had connected the NiosII Processor's "jtag_debug_module_reset" to several reset ports for IP's in the QSYS design, (including the Generice tri-state controller/conduit pin sharer/conduit bridge IP modules).

    Removing these connections made the error message go away. Perhaps this can be of help to others getting the same error code

    Hello,

    I am also having the same issue .niosii processor's "jtag_debug_module_reset" we need to connect the jtag debug module ??.I removed the reset connection from NiosII Processor's "jtag_debug_module_reset" to reset ports for IP's in the QSYS design, (including the Generice tri-state controller/conduit pin sharer/conduit bridge IP modules).

    but this reset connection is needed : -niosii processor's "jtag_debug_module_reset" to jtag debug module reset. ????
