target processor: not responding

I am following the tutorial to the letter. The clock frequency is 50Mhz. How can I tell

if the processor is brocken? The purpose of a tutorial is that it works right out of the

box, I shouldn't have to add any debug hardware.

There is a small difference between the tutorial and my actual SOPC it is this:

Under the "Nios II More cpu Setting" I have the following:

Reset Address ............ext_flash.............................0x00000000... 0x00000000

Exception Address...... ext_ram ..............................0x00000020....0x00800020

Break Location.............cpu/jtag_debug_module.....0x00000020....0x00900020 <<<<< not in tutorial

In the tutorial I have only "More cpu Setting" and only the first 2 line.

My local app. eng. is of no help. I leally need to get this system going asap. http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif
