I have 2 DE2 board which does not display the welcome message after it powers up. Looks like it is failing on the Power On Test. Anyone ran into this problem and found a way to "hard" reset these boards? 

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi Joelim 

Does the "run-prog" switch, is in "run" position ?? 

Try it.

The factory configuration may have been overwritten and should be restored from the backup file.

Hi Joelim. 

In the DE2_UserManual.pdf, chapter 5.1 (5.1 DE2 Factory Configuration) is the decription of how to download the DE2_Default demo. 

It is simply programming in the DE2_Demonstrations/DE2_Default the .sof file. 

 

Regards 

Alberto.
