problem of download

hi,

every one!

The board I used is made by myself,so I make a board of "sram_board" to write my flash epcs4, I set the address of epcs4 as the reset address ,and sram as the exception address,when I write flash,I got the message below,and the program can't run.(The program I have tested on sram)

# ! /bin/sh# # This file was automatically generated by the Nios II IDE Flash Programmer.# # It will be overwritten when the flash programmer options change.#

cd E:/altera/nios_epcs/software/epcs/Debug

    this masassge doesn't show any error.

    it seem like everything is in order.

    do you have a valid license?

    when you used the sopc builder to genrate your system did you get a a massage that the cpu was generated as a time limit?

    I set the address of epcs_controller as the reset address ,and sram as the exception address, is that correct?

    Yes. That should work just fine. Keep in mind, however, that you&#39;ve got to recompile your SOF _after_ building your software. This is so that Quartus II can store the bootloader contents in the small onchip RAM which is a part of the EPCS controller.

    Good luck!
