NIOS 2 on Altera's Stratix II GX PCI-E dev board not working

I am currently using: 

Quartus II 7.1 full version with full license.  

Open Core plus.  

 

and I am using Altera's Stratix II GX PCI-E dev board to dev nios2 system.  

 

 

my NIOS 2 system is not functioning. It only includes nios2, JTAG UART, PIO, onchip ram and PLL to slow down the clock.  

 

I used the hellow pio example in the nios IDE. not working.  

hellow world small example, not working. 

 

when I check run the hellow world application in Hardware, I got the following error from the IDE console: 

 

 

Using cable "USB-Blaster [USB-0]", device 2, instance 0x00 

Pausing target processor: not responding. 

Resetting and trying again: FAILED 

Leaving target processor paused  

 

do you have this problem you are using this board for nios 2 development?  

 

The PLL output works. I attached my customer LED IP to the system that only get the clk and I can see blinking. 

 

I also simulated the entire system in ModelSIM and it works since the hello world is printed to the JTAG console and I can see the waveform from the ModelSIM. my PIO LED is working.  

 

I have no idea how to fix this problem. 

 

 

Thank you.

Hi ezhongsjm,  

 

There is a new support solution posted on Altera's web site that documents these errors. It links to a related solution that lists patches to fix a problem with the OpenCore Plus circuitry in version 7.1 and 7.1 SP1.
