system ID and system timestamp not found
Hi, I am facing problem in downloading Nios2 project into the hardware. The program indicate that system ID and system timestamp are not found on target at base address. The system ID properties shows:
System ID base address: 0x9040 Expected system ID: 0x35a2a5b3 Actual system ID: N/A Expected system timestamp: 1267541979 Actual system timestamp: N/A I have loaded nios2_time_limited.sof (my project .sof file) using Quartus II programmer and leave it on before trying to run the nios II on the hardware. The device family has been set to Cyclone II. The board i using is DE1 board. The switch on the DE1 board is set to 'run'. I tried to ignore system ID and system timestamp mismatch, the loading of nios II run half way and shows error: Using cable "USB-Blaster [USB-0]", device 1, instance 0x00 Pausing target processor: not responding. Resetting and trying again: FAILED Leaving target processor paused Can any1 help me with this problem? I have search the forum but none of the solution is working for me.19 Replies

Try to delete the Run Configuration and recreate a new Run Configuration.

I have tried create a new run config but it does not work. I might have overlook some procedure while loading Nio2 2 into DE1...can someone with experience of using Nios 2 and DE1 provide me with important steps to download nios 2 into DE1?
Btw...is it correct to set the switch to RUN instead of PROG when loading Nios 2? And do I need to connect AC supply while programming Nios 2? I'm currently using voltage supply from USB. I'm also getting "Warning: Found invalid timing assignments -- see Ignored Timing Assignments report for details" In the Ignored Timing Assignments: Cut Timing Path On * data_in_d1 nios_reset_clk_0_domain_synch_module No timing path applicable to specified source and destination Cut Timing Path On * data_in_d1 nios_reset_clk_0_domain_synch_module Is this timing assignment issue the cause of my problem? - Altera_Forum

The lab files here would show how to download and run software in DE1 Yes , the AC supply needs to be connected. - Altera_Forum

Hi
I am facing the same problem while adding my own component. I am using DE2 board. Can you suggest me the solution? Mumble - Altera_Forum

Hi, is the Nios II working fine before adding those components?
Some of the steps i usually do after modify SOPC Builder are making sure that i load 'xxx_time_limited.sof' instead of 'xxx.pof'; right click 'xxx_bsp'(in Nios II project workspace)->Nios II->BSP Editor->Linker Script and restore default to the both Region Name and Section Name; and click 'Generate BSP' in the same menu as 'BSP Editor'. - Altera_Forum

I never got option to load .pof file. I always use .sof.
I can't see 'xxx_time_limited.sof' file in my project folder. Kindly suggest. Mumble - Altera_Forum

xxx is the project name. For example, my project name is nios, the .sof file will be nios_time_limited.sof.

I can't see any XXX_time_limited.sof file in my project folder. I do have XXX.sof file which I download on target board.

Maybe our version is different? I am using Quartus II 9.1 web edition.
