Hi,
now as the tool chain is in place I tried to follow AN-717, but there is no NIOS 2 IP in my catalog.
I use Quartus Prime Lite V20.1, on Windows.
With best regards

Hi @Gerhard56,
Hope this message find you well, by any chances did you managed to look into the clarification above?
Warm regards

Hi BB,
yes I am well. Get my vaxins first round, hope I win.
I get the problems solved, I have now a running logic on my FPGA and currently try to control it with the help of an NIOS 2. The NIOS 2 hardware part is done, I had recently troubles to get it running, but this was my mistake.
Now I try to get FreeRTOS running on the soft core, and this isn't that easy. The Eclipse tool and the other tools involved are totally new for me (normally using Visual Studio or Atmel Studio) and than the WSL (Windows subsystem for Linux) ...
It is no fun.
With best regards
Gerhard
Hi @Gerhard56,
Good to know that you had the first round of vaccination and please stay strong.
On the other hand glad to hear that problem has been solved and you are able to run the logic in board.
Totally understand there is no easy task in switching in between development tools and I think you are doing great. With that as there is no further queries, we would be closing the thread.
Please do post a response in the next 15 days. After 15 days, this thread will be transitioned to community support. The community users will be able to help you with your follow-up questions.
Warm Regards

Hi,
so, I have implemented the first version of my hardware, I also implemented a NIOS MCU to control everything and I get FreeRTOS running. I wrote a little program to have a command line interface which I use to set parameters for my hardware (PWM generator, special one).
I have to fire up the power stage now, which I can do with the first implementation of the FPGA stuff, when this is donw I will fine tune the software and extend the hardware (inside the FPGA).
With best regards
Gerhard
PS: Happy to be able to post again after a nasty malfunction of my Intel account.
