NIOS hex file does NOT get compiled into FPGA

[WShep1]

Hi All,

I had been building NIOS software for my MAX10 design and compiling it into the FPGA code for sometime when all of a sudden, the new NIOS software stopped compiling into the FPGA.  Now when I compile the FPGA, I get an older version of the NIOS software compiled instead of the latest version.  If I run the new software or debug it from NIOS SBT for Eclipse, it works perfectly.  However, after I 1) "Make a new Target", 2) check that a new hex file has been created in the correct location, 3)check to be sure the Initialization of the On-Chip Memory in Qsys is pointing to the same hex file, and 4) compile the FPGA in Quartus Prime, I always get an old version of the software not the new build.

Does anyone have any idea what is causing this to occur.  I probably mistakenly set some switch or parameter to the wrong state, but I don't have a clue as to how to fix this situation.

Thanks,

Bill

Hi, Bill

May I know are you booting from on-chip RAM or on-chip flash of MAX10 ?

To generate hex, you can follow, in your project folder, Make Targets->Build, click mem_init_generate and then Build to generate hex for on-chip RAM and on-chip flash for MAX10.

Hi, Bill

Can I close this if you have no more inquiry ?

Thanks.
