NIOS2 EDS make error

Hi,

First, avoid using spaces in paths : c:\users\jackie\desktop\sdcard\nios\software\sdcar--> <--d_bsp/hal/src/alt_main.c. (Maybe a error inserted in Copy&Paste to the forum)

Second, I had faced strange problems where main(), my_function().... were not found. It was because the [/B]files included with# include were bad[/B] (brackets are unbalanced in those files)

Nios II make outputs in Nios II SBT are ugly to understand.

Also you may "rebuild indexes", "clean project"...

SOPC is replaced with QSYS since Quartus version 10.

But in your screenshot I see "BSP (Board support package)", so you already use QSYS. Maybe the tutorial is for SOPC. It changes the hardware, the linker, but fortunately no big changes for software (just changes like "alt_irq..." to "alt_isr...", they are very similar)

Regards

hi. thanks for the reply.

the tutorial is for sopc builder so i remade the project in sopc builder, and used the altera monitor program for the software program.when compiled, i got the errors:

my onchip-memory is 32kb. could you identify the problem here? does this have something to do with the address? im not really familiar with this since im a beginner but i really need to finish this.

also, before these lines, there were warnings like:

drivers/src/altera_up_sd_card_avalon_interface.c: in function 'find_first_empty_record_in_a_subdirectory':

what to do? thanks again.

Hi aoi-kin,

now I working with my NIOS II and I have a problem when to build a project. this error appeared when I build the project

do you have any idea regarding this problem? what the causes of this error actually?

Thank you.

You don't have enough memory on your board.

Do you have an external RAM ? You should instantiate it in SOPC.

Regards.
