20 years agoI'm a little suprised that their "Quick Start Guide" didn't help.... C'est La Vie!
Basically, if you haven't added any memory/etc., via the "Santa Cruz connector", all you've got are onchip resources. If I were you, I'd read up on how much onchip memory your device has, and then create a memory which consumes most (if not all) of it. Keep in mind that, depending on the version of the processor you use, it will consume memory resources, as well. The Nios II/e core will consume the least, but is a lot slower than the other two cores. I would recommend creating yourself a small SOPC Builder system with a Nios II/e, your onchip memory, and a jtag_uart. Within the Nios II IDE, be sure to set/unset the following on the System Library properties page: - Check Reduced Device Drivers, Small C Library - Reduce the number of file descriptors to 4. (minimum allowed) Try to run Hello World, first. If successful, "congrats". If not, post your results here and I, or someone else, will see if we can help. Best of luck! - slacker
