Can not do TryOutuClinux!

[Altera_Forum]

Hi,  

 This days, I am trying to resolve the problem about running the uClinux in Altera Nios dev board, mentioned in my last post, so many methods I've tried, even followed the steps in TryOutuClinux in nioswiki, but there is only one result, failed. here is the information system gives me:  >>Using cable "USB-Blaster [USB-0]", device 1, instance 0x00 >>Pausing target processor: not responding. >>Resetting and trying again: FAILED >>Leaving target processor paused  I am so sad with this problem.  I am afraid the dev board is broken, that will be terrible.  Anyone got idea?

Did you upload the correct FPGA config?

[Altera_Forum]

Which Altera Dev board do you use? 

Did you config FPGA sof before download program , as Helmchen said?

I updated the zImage_std_1s10. Please check again. And what is the error message of nios2-terminal ?

Thanks for your help, hippo! But still won&#39;t work. Is there any possibility that my dev board has some problems?Two weeks ago, I could download the image and the uClinux system run well.

Did you add -g option to nios2-download? 

What is the message of nios2-download?

Please try a Hello world example on IDE/HAL running from SDRAM.

[Altera_Forum]

Hi, hippo,  

I build the hello world project with the standard .sof file in  C:\altera\kits\nios2\examples\verilog\niosII_stratix_1s10\standard, and following is the result!  nios2-terminal: connected to hardware target using JTAG UART on cable nios2-terminal: "USB-Blaster [USB-0]", device 1, instance 0 nios2-terminal: (Use the IDE stop button or Ctrl-C to terminate)  Hello from Nios II!

That seems good. It looks like the sdram works. 

 I have already reinstalled the Quartus and Nios IDE, but uClinux can not be booted where is the problem?

hippo, I also build a memory test project with the standard .ptf file, and it runs in IDE. This project can test flash, sram and sdram in dev board.  

type, begin address , end address, size  flash 0x00000000 , 0x008FFFFF, 8M sram 0x02000000, 0x020FFFFF, 1M sdram 0x01000000, 0x01FFFFFF, 16M The flash and sram are OK, but when I test the sdram, nothing responsing. The following is the information in console. nios2-terminal: connected to hardware target using JTAG UART on cable nios2-terminal: "USB-Blaster ", device 1, instance 0 nios2-terminal: (Use the IDE stop button or Ctrl-C to terminate)             <---->   Nios II Memory Test.   <----> This software example tests the memory in your system to assure it is working properly.  This test is destructive to the contents of the memory it tests.

I tries many times and got the same thing.
