control_panel for DE2_70

In fact, I do not have a solution for your problem. but I have some problem in downloading the .sof file. when I click on the buttom "Download Code" it gives me the message "Make sure that Quartus software is installed on your PC"... I have QuartusII 9.1 installed....

any help?

Best,

After a whole lot of digging I was able to figure out what the problem was. I had to do two things:

1) Copy over jtag_client.dll and dinkum_alt.dll from "QUARTUS_ROOT_DIR\quartus\bin" to the Control Panel software folder.

2) Add the following two directories to my windows system PATH variable:

C:\altera\10.0\nios2eds\bin

C:\altera\10.0\nios2eds\bin\nios2-gnutools\H-i686-pc-cygwin\bin

Step 1 was courtesy of Terasic's tech support and has now been added to their technical FAQ webpage. Step 2 I figured out on my own and essentially consisted of having to go through each script and running them all manually until I figured out where they were failing.

I have no idea why it is that some people have to do this fix and some people don't. Some people have no problems at all. Weird. Just FYI, my system is Windows 7 64-bit running Quartus and NIOS II EDS v10.0.

Hope this helps someone in the future.

Pz!

I don't understand the step 2 that you mentioned. Can you give more detail how you do it?

Copy over jtag_client.dll and dinkum_alt.dll from "QUARTUS_ROOT_DIR\quartus\bin" to the Control Panel software folder

and run DE2_70_control_panel.exe

Here are some videos on how to change your PATH variable:

hasil86,

I still have the problem after I copy the jtag_client.dll and dinkum_alt.dll. So I have to do the second step from jwdonal. I think it depends. Some people already solved the problem by just copy that two things, some people still have problem.

jwdonal,

Edit or add new path? system variables or user variables for user?
