14 years agoNios II IDE
Sir,
i hv created a SOPC design using nios II (s) , jtag, sdram,pio,timer,sysid using Quartus 7.2 and trying to run hello program on this design using Nios IDE 7.2 . Build is successful, however running the program gives Launching->Error starting process . Same problem is encountered with Quartus 8.0. Kindly give solution to eliminate this problem. using CycloneII EP2C35F672C6ES Altera's DE2 board thnks16 Replies

Hi ragad,
could you provide any kind of information on how you're trying to run your application. Are you trying to write your application to flash, or are you trying to debug? Is a .sof file present and downloaded to the board? - Altera_Forum

Sir,
Yes I have downloaded SOF file to the FPGA mentioned. This is a regular experiments ( For hello world) our students are performing. I want to extend the design for the Application layer in TCP/IP interface. Kindly clarify. Tnx - Altera_Forum

Hi,
ok again, how are you trying to launch your project? How are you connected to the fpga? Is your debugger recognized by your NIOS EDS? - Altera_Forum

Sir,
1. Project is launched by following steps. . SOPC is built using Quartus II . Bdf file created in quartus II and compiled. Program 'SOF' file on FPGA cyclone II board. NIOs II IDE launced thru SOPC builder then .PTF file selected of corresponding SOPC and 'hello' file program selected and then build the program to run on NIOS processor. 2. JTAG interface is used to connect to FPGA. 3. I dont undertandhow the debugger is rcognized. Thx - Altera_Forum

Hi there,
okay first lets see if your debugger is recognized, but must be if you were able to download the sof file. In Nios-IDE choose the menu Run and click on "RunConfiguation" There should be a poitn Nios II Hardware and in best case an existing configuration, otherwise create one. When you click on your configuration and then on the tab "Target connection", there you should see your debugger. - Altera_Forum

changed run confg to nios hardware configuration , error was removed
however program was not running (pause error) Reinstalled the Quartus7.2 , working fine !! thnx - Altera_Forum

Hi,
so everything is working right now? Glad that I could help - Altera_Forum

Sir,
Thanks for the help. I will be extending the same design for the RTOS ( ucos ) and then building application layer using TCP/Ip stack of the ucos. This application layer I will used to query the Tripple Speed Ethernet design I have build. I hope u will support for this work also. Regards RSG - Altera_Forum

Sir,
created new SOPC design with Nios 2 , jtag, sdram, pio, timer, sysid compiled and built successfully on Cyclone II.However run error Pausing Target processor : not responding Went through faq , but cud not solve the problem plz suggest soln - Altera_Forum

Hi,
please try to provide more detailed description of what your doing. So let me assume that your JTAG-Adapter wasn't able to find your HW. Clcik on run and open your Run Configurations... Under NIOS II Hardware there should be your device listet, choose it and change to tab Target connection, there should now be your jatag adapter visible under Processors and Byte Stream Device, if not click on refrech connections. Good luck
