Qsys - simple design not working

Hi, 

I am not able to get this simple system working on Qsys. 

However it works when I re-enter it with SOPC. 

I am using Q11.0 and my hardware is Cyclone II. 

This is what I do: 

Generate the Qsys/SOPC file. 

In Nois application I build the .elf file. 

Then I do an elf2hex conversion. 

I replace the .hex memory initialisation file for the Qsys/SOPC. 

I am able to verify uptill this stage and all is fine. 

In Quartus I update MIF and assemble. 

A comparison of the output files (.sof/.rbf) does not make sense to me. 

When I configure the Cylcone II hardware, SOPC works, but Qsys dosent. 

I tried various setting but still could not get it up. 

Could it be a BUG or am I missing something. 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Connect Instruction Master bus and use proper vector assignment in cpu options in QSYS.

Guru, 

I tried adding a custom instruction module (bit swapper) and tied the dangling stub. Blead for another half a day but still no results. 

 

I had worked earlier on cyclone IV with Qsys with no problems. But on Cyclone II the NIOS is deadbeef. 

 

Unable to bleed any further I have resorted to SOPC. It is a pain to export conduits, but no other go... 

 

My inference is Qsys does not work on Cyclone II !!

I see that You've edited the system and now it probably doesn't work, because Your reset polarity is inverted. You use reset_n signal as system reset.

I faced the similar problem.i use Qsys to build a custom instruction to counter the clk number if i input '1',while input '0' to clear the counter ,but when i generate the system,error comes like this:Error: nios2_qsys_0: Port no_ci_readra in TCL description is not found in the design file 

 

can you do me a favor?
