Problem on JTAG ID code

You don't want to _start_ by trying to use Linux. First, you need to try to get the Nios II examples, that ship with the Stratix II DSP kit, working. Then you can move onto attempting Linux with this board.

I believe that there are several threads, on this forum, dealing with this particular board. I suggest that you search this forum for further information, prior to posting questions.

Thank you for your reply. I am new here. I will search this forum later.

I have tried the example shipped with development kit. However the same problem occupided:( Because only example for 2s60ES supported with it. No project for 2s60.

Any suggestion?

Thank you again.

Not only I have met this problem. Smloo did so.

http://forum.niosforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=2763 (http://forum.niosforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=2763)

So.... rebuild/re-target the project to the 2S60. I believe the only work involved is re-compiling in Quartus II, with the 2S60 device selected. No pinout changes should be necessary.

Best of luck!

Thank you for your advice. The "hello world" example and maybe other examples will work when rebuild to the 2S60. However, what I want to use is uCLinux. I am using Nios II Linux Distribution v1.4 (download from http://forum.niosforum.com/forum/index.php...t=0&#entry7949) (http://forum.niosforum.com/forum/index.php?act=st&f=13&t=2006&st=0&#entry7949))

This distribution support the Altera Nios II 2s60 ES Development board, while no support to the 2S60. So what should I do? change the ptf file, how to do it? or etc..

Is there any uCLinux package for 2S60?

I found the problem may be caused by altera_nios_dev_board_stratix_2s60_es.sof (under C:\altera\kits\nios2\components\altera_nios_dev_board_stratix_2s60_es\system)

When I upload the file named "vmlinux.bin", firstly, the above sof file will be downloaded to the board.

This time, I use the sof file for 2s60 (from example "hello world") instead of that one. No JTAG error appears. The sof file downloaded succusfully. Hence I think the most important thing is to find the right sof file for uCLinux to 2S60. Anyone have the project file or SOF file? I can rebuild it by myself. Or can send to me.

Thank you.

I have copy 2s60 SOP file from nios ii 5.1. Building is successful. However, when I try to upload uCLinux to board, nios ii can not find flash- device.

It is likely that you are using a flash-programming FPGA design which

was not created for your target board.

In order to program flash, you must first create a purpose-built

flash-programming design (i.e. FPGA configuration) and associate it with

your particular board. The Nios development kit is delivered with purpose-bui

flash-programming designs pre-built for several development boards. If you wi

to program flash on your own board, you must first create a flash-programming

design.

The process of creating a flash-programming design for your board is mostly

automated. From a bash-shell, execute this script:

mk_target_board --help

The help-message includes references to other documentation on programming

flash and targeting Nios systems to custom board designs.

No, qii 5.0

How can I get qii5.1?

what is the difference between them?

I am useing Nios ii 5.0 to rebuild uClinux kernel.
