DE2-70 Control Panel "Fail to query board name"

Thanks for your answer. I already tried with Quartus 7.2 but with the same result. Where I can find the Quartus 7.0 ??

There are no chances to use the Control Panel with Quartus 9.0 !? Why they release the Control Panel 1.2 only for Quartus 9.0 and this is not working ?? Anyone already tried this with success ??

Thanks

Joaquim

"I do remember there was another thread detailing this how you can run the control panel through a command prompt instead"

Can you provide me this solution?

If anyone else already tried the Control Panel in DE2-70 using Quartus 9.0 with success please tell me how you manage to do it.

Thanks one more time.

Best Regards,

Joaquim

Hello,

I Found the solution using DE2_70_control_Panel in Quartus 9 !!!

The problem is that all de directory paths of Quartus and NIOS have changed. Consecontly, the soft don't know where are basics softwares.

to use the soft, you must downlad the config (.sof) and the ssram .elf manually. After, just do connect in the control_panel software.

1) load the .sof manually using programmer tool.

2) use nios2 shell command :"H:\altera\90\nios2eds\Nios II Command Shell.bat"

3) in this console window, go to the Control_panel directory (the path hase the form /cygdrive/<niosdrive/.....

4) execute : nios2-download DE2_70_Control_Panel_ssram.elf -c USB-Blaster[USB-0] -r -g

4 remark) I can put this line in file (example toto) and after call "bash toto" in the console.

5) execution tell you that the .elf is loaded

6) execute the control panel soft

7) if you want to use the FLASH MEM, you must Erase it as soon as possible before executing any thing.

8) enjoy

9) sand me remarks or tanks as you like !!!! :)

regards

Samir_DE2,

You saved my "altera" life!

I have the new Quartus 9.xx version and nothing was working!

Thank you so much for this post - it saved me having to revert back to 7.xx versions, etc.

The Line 4 needed to load the Nios program in the card. The demo need to use a nios2 processor. The hardware is load in the steps before and the step 4 is needed to add the program of the nios in the sram of the card. After this the Nios2 will in life and discuss with the demo.exe PC program.
