Description Due to a problem of NicheStack TCP/IP Stack - Nios® II Edition, a misaligned memory trap happens when a multicast message is sent and a stream of multicast messages are being received at the same time. Resolution Download two text files, pk_alloc.c and ip_write_internal.c, and update pktalloc.c and ip.c files with them to handle multicast messages correctly. This issue will be fixed in the future version of Quartus® II software. 1. pk_alloc.c Update <install_dir>/nios2eds/components/altera_iniche/UCOSII/src/net/pktalloc.c with pk_alloc.c 2. ip_write_internal.c Update <install_dir>/nios2eds/components/altera_iniche/UCOSII/src/ip/ip.c with ip_write_internal.cInterval Timer creates an incorrect "assign counter_load_value"
Description Due to a problem in the Quartus® II software version 13.1, Interval Timer will create an incorrect “assign counter_load_value” for clock periods more than 2^32 with counter size set to 64. For example: For clock period of 2^33, the generated incorrect assignment is as following: "assign counter_load_value = {1\'h2, 32\'hFFFFFFFF};" The correct assignment should be: "assign counter_load_value = {1\'h1, 32\'hFFFFFFFF};" Resolution A patch is available to fix this problem for the Quartus® II software version 13.1.4.
