SignalTapII and NIOSII processor

[Altera_Forum]

Is it possible to use SinalTapII with NIOSII processor with Quartus 9.1 or 10.0 web ? 

It's appeared the "OpenCore Plus Status" which blocks QuartusII to work with SignalTapII. Thank you.

It is annoying, but possible. What you can do is to run the Quartus programmer outside of Quartus (look for the quartus_pgmw.exe application in the Quartus bin folder). That way you can still use Quartus even with the Opencore window blocking the programmer.

Thanks, daixiwen (http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/member.php?u=4443)! 

It's working. It's for not a big progects like my one. It request very large onchip memory and NIOSII processor request too. If you want to analize big project it will be better to use ModelSim. I've never used it for a project with NIOSII processor. Is it possible to use ModelSim for a project built  with SOPC builder and with NIOSII processor? If it's possible what's the simplest way to transfer the code's files from QuartusII to ModelSim and back. I usually made copies of ones from QuartuII's project to ModeiSim's one. One thing to remember ModelSim's library requests pll name 'PLL1'. You can name altpll 'PLL1' from SOPC builder. Thanks in forward! Cordialy, Mike.

You can invoke Modelsim directly from Quartus. You need to define it as the external simulator to use. I don't have Quartus here to check out how it is done but it should probably be described somewhere in the manual

 set the path to the ModelSim-AE aloem-something-or-other directory  then read about NativeLink:  http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/qts/qts_qii5v3_01.pdf
