Honored ContributorI tried running SOPC builder,etc to see if that helped.... nope.
Since I have a compactflash card to boot off I will try to see if I can construct my own small bootloader which I can place in a on-chip firmware ROM? Is this handy enough to map into NIOS,etc? I can budget about 8KBytes of on-chip for it.... not ideal solution, but beggars can't be........... (well - you know what I mean!) http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif Is it possible to force a FPGA reset (cold start,reconfig,etc) from within a design? If so, then I could use an on-chip RAM for the boot code (initialised with bootstrap code on initial bitstream) and once I'm up and running it could serve then as a general on-chip scratch RAM or some useful purpose? is this possible?
