Can anyone explain what is supposed to be going on on p.111 onwards of the DE0-nano user guide please? Trying to get the Nios2 example working...

[MRhys]

Hello... help... I'm absolutely confused by the crazy order and layout of the material from p.111 onwards.

Manual is at https://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?Language=English&CategoryNo=139&No=593&PartNo=4

It's totally unclear to me what I am supposed to do. It first tells me that I must enter text into a blank verilog file, then at the same time it says open an existing file. It does not explain clearly what I must do with these two concepts.

What's going on? Can anyone explain this better? I have just wasted £80 otherwise...

Thanks,

Matt

I think the open file thing in the screenshot is just to look at the output of SOPC Builder (which doesn't even exist in the software anymore; this is a very old document). Just create and save the myfirst_niosii.v file and compile the project.

Hi @MRhys​ ,

<QUOTE>It's totally unclear to me what I am supposed to do. It first tells me that I must enter text into a blank verilog file, then at the same time it says open an existing file. It does not explain clearly what I must do with these two concepts.</QUOTE>

1. Open a new file(Files->New->verilog file) and copy the code from page 112 and save it as myfirst_niosii.v
2. Open existing file(File->open) which is created by SOPC builder(DE0_NANO_SOPC.V).So that we can check if your component instantiation in myfirst_niosii.v is correct as per DE0_NANO_SOPC.v

and compile it.

Let me know if this has helped or if you need any further assistance.

Regards

Anand
