No CFI table found at address 0x04000000

Hello everyone, I'm trying to execute bit on tutorial "My first tutorial nios II", in which I use System Building and SOPC. In SOPC add to my system also Flash memory interface (CFI). My problem is that when I go to use the flash programmer in NIOS II IDE, the console displays the following message:

# / bin / sh# # This file was automatically generated by the Nios II IDE Flash Programmer.# # It will be overwritten When the flash programmer options change.#

cd C :/ Users/Raffaele/Desktop/my_first_niosii/software/hello_world_0/Debug

# Creating. Flash file for the project

"$ SOPC_KIT_NIOS2/bin/elf2flash" - base = 0x04000000 - end = 0x7ffffff - reset = 0x4000

020 - input = "hello_world_0.elf" - output = "cfi_flash_0.flash" - boot = "C :/ alters / 1

1.0sp1/ip/altera/nios2_ip/altera_nios2/boot_loader_cfi.srec "

# Programming flash with the project

"$ SOPC_KIT_NIOS2/bin/nios2-flash-programmer" - base = 0x04000000 "cfi_flash_0.fla

sh "

Using cable "USB-Blaster [USB-0]", device 1, instance 0x00

Resetting and pausing target processor: OK

No CFI table found at address 0x04000000

Leaving target processor paused

I tried to perform a variety of ways but to no avail.

how can I solve my problem?

P.S: I use a NIOS II \ \ e.

    Hi, welcome to the club "No CFI table found at address 0X...".

    Have you already read other threads : http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2219, http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33412, http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26623, ... ?

    Many this problem comes from bat timing, bad signals.

    a few from bad flash component, or conflicts in a bus

    From a nios ii command Shell, go to the directory containing "cfi_flash_0.flash" by a command similar to :

    cd /cygdrive/c/myproject/software/

    and run :

    "$SOPC_KIT_NIOS2/bin/nios2-flash-programmer" --debug --base=0x04000000" cfi_flash_0.flash

    And post here the results.

    Regards.

    hello, first of all thank you for answering. You've already read these forums and many others, but unfortunately to no avail. I ran the command suggested and the result is as follows:

    cfi_flash_0.flash: unable to open input file

    Empty flash content can not be programmed or verified

    The .flash file is not found, in Nios II command shell, type :

    cd /cygdrive/C/Users/Raffaele/Desktop/my_first_niosii/software/hello_world_0/Debug

    and then

    "$SOPC_KIT_NIOS2/bin/nios2-flash-programmer" --debug --base=0x04000000" cfi_flash_0.flash
