Hi KPhan4,

I suspect your JTAG frequency might be the root cause for .elf file not work.

Can you kindly try to reduce your TCK frequency to 6 MHz (default value)?

Below link is the command to change TCK frequency (on page 14= 2.8. Changing the TCK Frequency)

Kindly try it out with your design and let me know the result.

Thanks

thank for your support.

i’ve tried and result:

Error: no param JtagClock

I programed .sof to flash and run Debug app on Eclipse. It worked. So Nios’ reset vector and reset value when i convert .elf cause for it not work???

KPhan4,

For latest design development, we recommend to use sof file rather than .elf file.

Thanks
