Problems with my own Drivers

Hello,

I have write my own Avalon Slave Component and would like integrate the driver in my Eclipse projekt...

I have a the problem that the driver would not integrated automatic in the BSP projekt... when I open the BSP_Editor do show at my component at the driver column none.

I have read the Section in the Altera Handbook for Developers and hav not found any answer...

I have allready found in the Forum that the Version must be the same in _sw.tcl and _hw.tcl... I have checked it with the same result.

Thanks all for helping me...

Flo

I use Quartus Version 10.0sp1

    If you use the Altera nios2-bsp script with the --debug option, you should see lots of output related to finding locating system ip modules and finding the best driver match.

    1. Make sure the search path to your _sw.tcl file is present at the beginning of the debug output. If your IP is located in a standard location such as the quartus project folder, then you are ok.

    2. Search for your discovered module in the debug output. You should see the attemp to match a driver to your module. You should see your driver and a reason as to why it was not considered compatible (skipped over)
