Hi

Is it possible that you share me your bsp settings and a screenshot of your Platform Designer "Address Map" tab?

From the looks of it the elf is set to launch at address 0x20 000 000 where as your ddr is set to 0x2 000 000.

Could you double check your linker settings in the bsp settings?

Regards

Jingyang, Teh

It can only be one of 2 things..
i)NiosV isnt running
ii)NiosV is running but the jtag UART isnt.

  This is a problem as well!
  It never rains when it pours!
  I need ALTPLL and it fails in Quartus23 - going to try the suggested fix.

    I tried using Build and Debug load with Ashling IDE. following this video exactly.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6t-MVQ_j8Y
    
    I got the terminal to display 'Hello World' a couple of times but then couldnt repeat it.
    
    I had to make a C Project like the video.
    If I tried to make a C++ project , it threw an error and wouldn't compile - another bug, It wanted to use MinGW Makefiles even though the Cmake configuration called up UNIX Makefiles!
    Thats another issue though.
    
    It really does look like Nios V is flaky along with its build tools.
