Trouble to run NIOSS II processor...

Hi, 

 

I had some trouble to run the NIOS II processor without chaniging anything (You can see my previous post here http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6003 )! 

 

Because I don't find any way to solve my problem I decided to close all apps, restart the computer and to make a very new Quartus II project (in a new directory..) 

In SOPC I add only three component : 

- The NIOS II processor 

- An onchip_mem 

- A Jtag_uart 

 

In the Block diagram file I add only two input pins, thelock and the reset (which is negative logic, of course..) 

 

I have a good compilation in Quartus II and when I program the FPGA, I get the OpenCore Status window which is connect without any problem ! 

 

Then I launched a new NIOS II project (with a new workspace....) 

I made a hello_world_small project.. 

 

The compilation was successful but I get this message in the output console ! 

Using cable "USB-Blaster ", device 1, instance 0x00 Pausing target processor: not responding. Resetting and trying again: FAILED Leaving target processor paused  

 

I don't understand why I have this problem without changing anything !! 

 

Please help me ! 

 

Thank you..

Did you assign your "clk" and "reset_n" signals to the PIN's of your FPGA?
