NIOS II software problem

Hi all:

I am a new learner of NIOS II. I have a problem about the NIOS II software. When I use the SOPC builder,I found it only has "System Contents" and "System Generation", but no "more CPU setting".I don't know why and how to deal with it.I have installed the software many times and the software edit is 7.2. Can anyone think of a way to help me?

Thank you very much!

    double click inside sopc builder the nios II processor and a new window should open, enabling you to setup the nios cpu (core, cache, advanced features,.... custom instructions)

    what are you looking for ?

    if "more cpu setings" is not the nios setup, is that an old sopc builder dialog tab from earlier days ?

    Thank you so much! My software is 7.2, and maybe you did not know my problem at all,because I did not expressed it clear. So I explained it again.

    I double click on the "NIOS II processor",and then the CPU set window appears.I can setup the nios cpu,like core, cache, advanced features,.... custom instructions. But when I finish the setting and exit the window,there is not appear a setting tap as "NIOS II More cpu settings" . So that is my problem. I just want to know it is due to the software or my settings.

    puuuuuuuh .... right out of my head i remember such a tab called "Nios II More CPU settings" but that is ages ago. Quartus 5.1 or 6 ... and i remember that this tab was removed ....

    is this tab visible for you until you change something or not there at all ?

    is it available in other projects ?

    or do you have some kind of manual that that tells you to change something on such a tab ?

    i think the more cpu settings is no included in the nios processor dialog. sorry that i am unshure but that page was formaly used to setup reset address and interrupt address ... now part of the cpu property page
