Cannot create an Internal Memory Initialization (.hex) File

Hello, benc!

Thank you for your screen shots.

I did everything as you wrote but my application did not work.

I examined the differences in your and my projects and noticed you did not use the jtag uart, but I did.

I don't know why the example author advised to use this component because later nothing was done with it.

I deleted it.

And after fulfilling all steps I got the working application.

To make sure that the jtag uart prevented from the success I repeated projects creation some times - replacing and deleting this component.

Though I've got some experience not every time my results coincided. Very rare the checksum of the .sof file were equal to the previous one. Sometimes after saving the .hex file I did not find it in the file window of the Settings pad and so I was to manually add it.

Of course I could do mistakes but I believe the Quartus is capricious.

My finding is - the jtag uart prevented from success.

Thank you for your help in particular for your screen shots.

I would like to thank Daixiwen too - I'll follow his advices.

Too many issues are still unsolved.

Regards,
