Downloading ELF Process failed when executing from flash

[Altera_Forum]

Hi, 

 I am using Eclipse to program my Nios on a Max10 FPGA. When I run the Nios code from the RAM everything works fine. Now I changed everything so that the code would execute directly from the flash (on-chip). I set all settings as described here:  https://www.altera.com/en_us/pdfs/literature/an/an730.pdf I used Option 1a  Now if I try to run/debug the code directly out of Eclipse I get "Downloading ELF Process failed".  Console says:   --- Quote Start ---  Using cable "USB-BlasterII [USB-1]", device 1, instance 0x00 Processor is already paused Reading System ID at address 0x00481028: verified Initializing CPU cache (if present) OK  Downloading 00200000 ( 0%) Downloading 00210000 (70%) Downloaded 92KB in 0.1s   Verifying 00200000 ( 0%) Verify failed between address 0x200000 and 0x20FFFF Leaving target processor paused  --- Quote End ---    Attached is my setup.  I programmed the Nios code with a *.pof to the device and this also works fine. Is it even possible to run/debug code directly from Eclipse?  Best Regards

Usually that would be due to missing timing constraints, but I see you are connected to on-chip rather than off-chip flash.  

 I it seems you assigned the memory region in the BSP editor, but did you change the physical wiring in Qsys to allow Nios II instruction/data master to access the on-chip flash? (I can't see the Qsys diagram...resolution too small...)

Hello,

I have the same problem, everything go right when I program via Quartus Programmer in pof.

I can run it from SBT, but if I change something in my C Code, I have to rebuild pof, program UFM and then I can launch it from SBT Run "NiosII hardware".

Seems that SBT can have access to UFM in write mode.

did you have an ansewer from Intel?

Thanks
