Issue after upgrading my Nios V SoC project from 23.1std to 24.1std

I developed a Nios V/m-based SoC for a Terasic De0-Nano board using Quartus Prime Standard 23.1. The provided .sof file was used to configure the FPGA via the Nios V Command Shell in Quartus 23.1 sta...

    Hello,

    This issue was fixed.

    There is no issue when all files (SOPCINFO, SOF, BSP, ELF) were generated by the same Quartus Prime version, 23.1std or 24.1std.

    Use cases:

    --> Using Nios V Command Shell 23.1std
    - NO-issue: all files were generated with the same 23.1 or 24.1 version.
    - FAIL: SOF files generated with 23.1 and SOPCINFO+BSP+ELF files generated with 24.1std.
    - FAIL: SOF files generated with 24.1 and SOPCINFO+BSP+ELF files generated with 23.1std.

    --> Using Nios V Command Shell 24.1std
    - NO-issue: all files were generated with the same 24.1std or 23.1 version.
    - FAIL: SOF files generated with 24.1 and SOPCINFO+BSP+ELF files generated with 23.1std.
    - FAIL: SOF files generated with 23.1 and SOPCINFO+BSP+ELF files generated with 24.1std.

    I have run both Quartus Prime Standard versions 23.1 and 24.1 on the same computer using Windows 10. The DE0-Nano board is connected to the computer via a USB interface.

    Regards,
    Domingo.

Hello Domingo

The problem seems to be that for some reason jtag is getting disconnected from the board.

We are trying to replicate the issue. We have a question: when you were testing the 24.1 sof file with the 24.1 Nios V Command shell, the BSP and ELF that you used were the ones generated with 23.1 or you regenerated them with 24.1?

Thanks

Rolando
