Problems with DE1 board and MicroC/OS-II RTOS

Hi, I'm having some problems because I want to implement an operating system, the MicroC/OS-II, on the DE1 board.

First, I followed the tutorial "Introduction to the SOPC Builder" on Altera's site to create a SOPC project.

After this, I followed the tutorial "Using MicroC/OS-II RTOS with the Nios II Processor Tutorial" on Altera's site too

But, when I try to build the project, I receive the following errors:

make: *** [../ucosii_bsp/-recurs-make-lib] Error 2

make[1]: *** [obj/HAL/src/alt_close.o] Error 1

# error "OS_CFG.H, Missing OS_TICKS_PER_SEC: Sets the number of ticks in one second" ucos_ii.h /ucosii_bsp/UCOSII/inc line 1708 C/C++ Problem

I don't know how to solve it. I don't know if it is a problem from the SOPC I created, if I need something more. Or if it is a problem with the application on NIOS II SBT for Eclipse.

Thank you.

    I don't think so. Can you explain me how to do this??

    Sorry because I'm starting working with this board and I only studied the tutorials from the Altera's site.

    Thanks for the answer!!

    In SOPC builder, you'll find the timer in the library: Peripherals > Microcontroller Peripherals > Interval timer

    Set a timeout period of 10 ms and select the Simple periodic interrupt preset.

    Then regenerate your SOPC system and recompile Quartus project.

    I don't remember if the bsp settings are automatically adjusted. If not you may need to update them and select the timer you just created as system timer before recompiling the software.

    Thank you. It's impossible for me to try it now, but as soon as I can I will try to do it and I will return to say if it works with me.

    Thanks a lot!!!
