Problem when downloading zImage to DE2-115 (cont.)

--- Quote Start --- This is jpe1313, What I was saying was that are any of your entries your generated *.dts file "unknown." Take a look. If they are "unknown" then it COULD be a problem....

Hello,

Usually if your processor can't be even reset the problem is your processor is not running. It will happen if you have no clock. Also, check your compilation report for critical warnings. Unassigned pins may cause this problem too. Check for timing issues. If you have a processor with the jtag-debug enabled and the processor is running then the processor should be successfully reset through the jtag debug interface by the nios2-download command.
