Honored ContributorPausing target processor: not responding.
when i try to run as NIOS II hardware, i am getting this error,
Using cable "USB-Blaster [USB-0]", device 1, instance 0x00 Pausing target processor: not responding. Resetting and trying again: FAILED Leaving target processor paused how can i correct it, Its running in the simulator though (NIOS instruction set simulator)17 Replies
Altera_ForumThe compilation msgs shown are, as in attached file , it shows timing reqs not met

It is possible that your processor is held in reset at the firmware level. Make sure your processor has a valid clock and that the reset polarity is correct.

I agree with kosh271
Check resets connection (in top level, a lot of times the problem is there). - Altera_Forum
I used the example came with the De2 115 board
I am new to fpga , can you help me in sort out , where can i change the clock and reset ? I attached a screen shot of my configurations - Altera_Forum
kindly someone assist me

The compilation messages indicate that you don't have the license for the Nios CPU. This means Quartus generates a time limited .sof file for evaluation purposes. When you configure the FPGA you will see an OpenCore window saying you are in evaluation mode. Do not close this window or the Nios CPU will stop working and you can get this "non responding" error.

yes , i didnt closed the window , then also the same problem persists

Did you modify the example in any way? Check epsecially the clock and reset input. The reset is active low so it must be high for the system to work. You can verify that the clock is running by using signaltap, either by monitoring the clock signal itself, or by using it as the clock in signaltap (it will say "waiting for clock" if the clock isn't toggling).

what these lines show ?

It means that you defined some output ports on your top level verilog file that you didn't connect to anything inside your design.
