alt_timestamp() issue!

Altera_Forum · ‎10-03-2011

Hi,

I am working with Altera Stratix FPGA and NiosII processor.

In Hello_World program I wanted to check time duration using HAl API alt_timestamp() and alt_timestamp_start().

i wrote progarm like this:

# include <stdio.h># include "sys/alt_timestamp.h"# include "alt_types.h"

int main (void)

{

alt_u32 time1;

alt_u32 time2;

alt_timestamp_start();

time1 = alt_timestamp();

printf("hello from niosII!\n");

time2 = alt_timestamp();

printf("value =%u \n", (unsigned int) (time2-time1));

return 0;

}

after build it is showing following error:

nios2-elf-g++ -T'../Hello_World_0_bsp/linker.x' -msys-crt0='../Hello_World_0_bsp/obj/HAL/src/crt0.o' -msys-lib=hal_bsp -L../Hello_World_0_bsp -Wl,-Map=Hello_World_0.map -O0 -g -Wall -EL -mno-hw-div -mhw-mul -mno-hw-mulx -o Hello_World_0.elf obj/hello_world.o -lm

can anyone tell me what may be expected mistake?

Thanks in advance!

Did you remember to add the timer to your timestamp timer settings in the BSP/system library? I don't think it is added automatically for you so you would need to manually set it.

Hello,

I have the same problem. I've found, how to add timer to the syslib settings of nios 9.0 project.

But how can I do the same for 11.0 project?

Thanks in advance.

Hey,

If you want to add a system or timestamp timer you have to rightclick on your bsp folder in your Nios Eclipsle Project, than choose Nios2->BSP Editior

There you can change your System Timer and Timestamp Timer

Best regards
