rugbybloke,

joo21 has sent you this email from http://www.niosforum.com/forum/index.php (http://www.niosforum.com/forum/index.php).

Thanks rubbybloke. I have being having problems running the zip file system example on my system. The content of the zip file could&#39;nt be open. I have followed all the procedure in the manual on how to use the altera zip file system. What do you think I should do?. Could you please let me know how you ran it on your system?. How did you specified your mount point?. Did you use absoluite paths?.

Please reply ASAP.

Cheers,

joo21,

As I have explained before in a private message, I will not enter into a private discussion with you about your problem. The benefit of forums is that if you post a question and someone else solves it then other people get to benefit from the solution, plus many people can see the question and hopefully answer it.

You seem to be getting all confused about completely unrelated things, such as the operating system of your PC and mount points.

To get a simple file system example follow the instructions below, which I have just tried with Release 5.0 on a 1c20 board.

1. In the Nios II IDE select File->New Project

2. Select C/C++ Application

3. Select Zip Filing System

4. Select a PTF for your system, in my case this was "D:\altera\kits\nios2\examples\verilog\niosII_cyclone_1c20\standard\std_1c20.ptf"

5. Press Finish

6. Right click on your project and select Build

7. Select Tools->Flash Programmer

8. Press New

9. Press the Program Flash Button

10. Press Yes

11. Right click on your application project and select Debug As Hardware

12. Depending upon whether you have the correct hardware you may get a Quartus Programming window to program the hardware into the board

13. Press the Go Arrow and you&#39;ll get
