De2_nios_device_led

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to get DE2_NIOS_DEVICE_LED demonstration working. The problem is when I try to install the d12test.inf driver, windows says "the wizard could not find a better match for your hardware .... " and the Philips smart evaluation board is not installed.

-------------------

Step 9 of README.txt

9) Run the project on the board. (Run menu)

I choose "run" from the upper toolbar. Then I choose "Nios 2 Hardware", then "new configuration". I select project "hello_led_0".

JTAG cable: automatic

JTAG device: automatic

Nios 2 Terminal: jtag_uart_0

At this point the only wires connected to the DE2 board are: "blaster" and "DC 9V".

I click "run" from the nios 2 window.

From the terminal:

nios2-terminal: connected to hardware target using JTAG UART on cable

nios2-terminal: "USB-Blaster [USB-0]", device 1, instance 0

nios2-terminal: (Use the IDE stop button or Ctrl-C to terminate)

disconnect

disconnect

connect_USB

CONFIG

CHIP ID =0x3630

---------------------

Step 10 of README.txt

Now I connect "DEVICE" wire from DE2 to USB on my computer.

Immediately Windows says "USB Device Not Recognized".

Nios 2 Terminal outputs this:

CHIP ID =0x3630

SUSPEND CHANGE

SUSPEND CHANGE

BUS RESET

disconnect

connect_USB

CONFIG

CONFIG

.. repeat above 7 lines ..

---------------------

Step 11 of README.txt

Since I am on a windows machine, I go to Device Manager. Under "Universal Serial Bus" controllers I see "Unknown Device". This is probably the device that needs drivers since if I disconnect the DEVICE wire, this "unknown device" disappears.

I choose update drivers.. install from specific location... "include this location in your search".. I choose the path which contains d12test.inf (there are actually two folders that contain this, both resulted in the same error). I click next then hardware update wizard says: "the wizard could not find a better match for your hardware".

If I choose "don't search. i will choose the driver to install" and choose d12test.inf .. same error.

If I right click d12test.inf and choose install, nothing happens (philips device is not discovered).

--------------------------

For all cases, the program isp1362dcusb.exe outputs 0x0 no matter how many times I press add.

I'd appreciate all comments and advice.

Thanks!

    Dear Friends,

    I also had a similar experience.I could not install the ISP1362 river for one month. I solved the problem recently. You try connecting both USB cables( Blaster and Device ) from the begining. Also do this while building the project.after build is complete rmove the USB cable from Device port aand run the C program, once u get a message chip ID XXX, u connect back the Device USB, your DE2 board will be detected by the OS as a new device and it will prompt you to install the driver.

    I hope this will help you...

    Regars,

    Mahesh

    Dear Friend,

    I solved this problem by using 2 USB cables. Before you programming to DE2 board, you make sure 2 USB cables (USB blaster and USB device) to connect your host computer. It will be solved your problem
