Cannot connect to target

[Altera_Forum]

I am new to this forum.  

 I am using Nios II evaluation kit and following the user guide to run a helloworld program. I hasinstalled USB blaster driver on my WinXP (home edition) so I am able to connect to the target (using nios2-terminal), login and setup an IP address using DHCP.   This did last long.  The terminal program aborted a few minutes later indicating a I/O error. This problem very repeatable. I am also unable to use Nios IDE to programm the helloworld program on the target because it complains JTAG errors.  Any pointers would be welcome. Thanks.  Aaron

I have resolved the problem myself - 1. possibly a loose cable connection. 2. I forgot to program the FPGA chip before runing the helloworld program.  

 Well, first experience with Nios II not too bad...       --- Quote Start ---  originally posted by aaronjin@Apr 12 2006, 09:42 AM i am new to this forum.   i am using nios ii evaluation kit and following the user guide to run a helloworld program. i hasinstalled usb blaster driver on my winxp (home edition) so i am able to connect to the target (using nios2-terminal), login and setup an ip address using dhcp.   this did last long.  the terminal program aborted a few minutes later indicating a i/o error. this problem very repeatable. i am also unable to use nios ide to programm the helloworld program on the target because it complains jtag errors.  any pointers would be welcome. thanks.  aaron <div align='right'><{post_snapback}> (index.php?act=findpost&pid=14283)  --- quote end ---    --- Quote End ---

good luck with your NIOS II work, I think you will find it much easier compared to the learning curve for most other processors http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif
