Nios II IDE memory access error

[Altera_Forum]

What would be the first step to debug with this error message? 

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Error! : Failed memory access in component cpu - Unable to read data from invali d memory address 0x0 //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// following is all my base address; # define ONCHIP_MEMORY_RAM_BASE 0x00010000# define PIO_OUTPUT_BASE 0x00021010# define PIO_INPUT_BASE 0x00021000# define JTAG_UART_BASE 0x00021020   What would be the first step to start debugging? thanks,

The failed memory access is at address 0x0 

 According to your architecture, there is no memory, nor device on this address.   Did you point the "Reset Vector" and "Exception Vector" correctly to an address where your code resides?

I'm sorry but what do you mean by no memory nor device? 

Isn't onchip memory a memory that can be used to store data? I'm a beginner..so please can you give detailed explaination? thanks,

[Altera_Forum]

yes, on chip memory is such a device but it has its base adr at 0x00010000 

it ssems that you have no memory at 0x0 as the first memory starts at 0x00010000

meaning, i have no input coming in to store at address 0x00010000? 

what's my option to solve?

Hi nowsolo, 

   --- Quote Start ---  meaning, i have no input coming in to store at address 0x00010000? what's my option to solve?  --- Quote End ---     did you specify the "Reset Vector" and "Exception Vector" in SOPC in the on_chip_memory_ram address space? Please check this!

as you wrote 

 # define ONCHIP_MEMORY_RAM_BASE 0x00010000 your on chip memory starts at 0x00010000 up to ? depending on the size you have entered in sopc builder  # define PIO_OUTPUT_BASE 0x00021010 # define PIO_INPUT_BASE 0x00021000 # define JTAG_UART_BASE 0x00021020  just have a look at all these addresses, there is none of them starting at 0x0, so there is no memory you could store data at 0x0 nor there is any input at 0x0 where you can get data from.
