1.4 with 5.1

Altera_Forum · ‎01-05-2006

Can we use Linux1.4 with Nios 2 IDE 5.1

Actually, while downmloading the .sof of the linux_1c20 project on FPGA

after programming is 100% complete it gives error message :

Can't communicate with device. and loads the FPGA with factory image.

I have tried to download same using Quartus II 5.0 and 5.1 programmer but the error persists.

I am able to download all other .sof other than this one.

Though Nios2 is time limited opencore I am not closing the message window that appears after downloading.Even after flashing the error message the window remains.

What must be the problem?

Hello!

I use the Nios II Linux Distribution 1.4.0 and Nios II IDE Version 5.1.

I have a Stratix II development board.

For the kernel I use

\altera\kits\nios2\examples\verilog\niosII_stratixII_2s60_ES\standard\std_2s60ES.ptf

With this combination I have no problems.

What board do you use?

Bye, Lothar.

This issue is resolved.

5.1 patch for Quartus II and Nios II were required.

Microtrinix Linux Distribution 1.4 is giving problem -

After installing the Microtronics option is not appearing in

Nios II IDE-> New Projects
