15 years agoSystem ID Problem - N/A
Hello,
i am trying to run a ddr2-example on a Stratix III DE3 board. what i did: -i changed the device in quartus to ep3sl150f1152c2 in the demo it was ep3sl150f1152c3 but the chip on the board is with speedgrade 2 - i started sopc builder and compiled the nios system - then i compiled the design and loaded it to the fpga - in nios i make a new projekt (helloworld) with the sopcinfo-file which was generated. - when i want to upload it i get the error: --- Quote Start --- Actual system ID not found on target at base address --- Quote End --- in the System ID Properties the System ID is N/A al well as the timestap. what is the problem? thanks in advance... EDIT: i tried to use the original setup with the ep3sl150f1152c3 setting (which is wrong) when i configure it to the fpga and than build a project with nios i can programm it to the fpga. So why does this work? but The testprogram doesnt work.. in the console there is folowing:===== DE3 DDR2 Test Program =====
DDR2 Clock: 266.6 MHZ
DDR2 Size: 256 MBytes
==========================================================
Press any BUTTON to start test
pressig the button does nothin, after a while the console is receiving strange chars and the leds are getting some random on/off so why does can i play the software to nios in one case and not in the other and why does it "work" with the wrong fpga configutration?
