12 years agoHello,
Thank you for your advices. 1. I don’t know where to look for the application boot section but I found others. From Linker Script tab: Linker Section Name Linker Region Name Memory Device Name .bss onchip_mem onchip_mem .entry reset onchip_mem .exceptions onchip_mem onchip_mem .heap onchip_mem onchip_mem .rodata onchip_mem onchip_mem .rwdata onchip_mem onchip_mem .stack onchip_mem onchip_mem .text onchip_mem onchip_mem From Linker Memory Regions tab: Linker Region Name Address Range Memory Device Name onchip_mem 0x00008020-0x0000CFFF onchip_mem reset 0x00008000-0x0000801F onchip_mem I guess the reset vector points to the application boot section or to the crt0.S startup code. So everything must be loaded into the onchip memory. 2. I don’t know how to use signaltap on the CPU's instruction and data masters, and use a power up trigger. So I must study how to do it. Unfortunately too many handbooks cannot be read simultaneously. Where to find the necessary text? 3. I use the Nios II/s. Indeed my application works when I use “Run As-> Nios II Hardware” only for the time limited. I suppose something from the example settings prevents me to achieve the success if I try to create my .hex file end the new .sof. Regards. tduty
