need help on assembling the verilog modules on altera cyclone II de2

finally 5 posts. Thanks normad for replying.

I did what u told me to do. Here are the steps that I followed:

(1) First I created a new project on Quartus II 9.1.

I gave my project name as ‘test1’. Then I clicked next and I added all the verilog modules files with .v extension along with the ‘control_nios.sopc’. I clicked finish then I can see all these files in the project explorer window. I assigned ‘ampmain.v’ as the top level module. Then I double clicked the ‘control_nios.sopc’ which gave me SOPC builder application window as seen here

Then I click generate at the bottom of the window, it take some time to process then gave me this

(2) Then I opened the NIOS II eclipse platform. I did

File > New > NIOS application

Gave the name test1 for the project.

At the bottom of BSP location I clicked the button ‘create’ which gave me this window

Then I gave the project name ‘test12’ since I couldn’t give it the name ‘test1’. Then I clicked the SOPC information filename button and browse to

c:\altera\91\nios2eds\examples\verilog\nios_ii_cycolone2_2c35\standard\NiosII_cycloneII_2c35_standard_sopc.sopcinfo

And clicked open

Then I right clicked test1 > build project

Then right clicked

test1> Run as> NIOS II Hardware.

I got into the another window. The run button was disables and I could see the

‘cross’ mark on ‘Target Connection’ tab

I then opened the programmer from

NIOS II> Quartus II Programmer. On the add file I browsed to

c:\altera\91\nios2eds\examples\verilog\nios_ii_cycolone2_2c35\standard\ NiosII_cycloneII_2c35_standard.sof

and open. Then I clicked start. The LEDs stopped flashing and I got 100%succesful on top of the programmer. I thought I reason I saw the cross icon on the target location was because I didn’t do this step. I went back to NIOS II and redo Run as > NIOS II Hardware I still see the same thing. I am stuck here and I would really appreciate it if anyone can help me out.
