MJL Cyclone Development kit and Quartus II

Started by MarkAren August 18, 2008
Hi All,

I have a second hand MJL Cyclone Development kit with Altera
EP1C20F400C7 FPGA and EPM3064ATC configuration controller. The factory
supplied FLASH code is GERMS built using NIOS I.

I have successfully compiled a test file using Quartus II, V7.2. I
have also loaded and run the SRAM Object File (.SOF) file using a USB
Byte Blaster using the JTAG interface.

I am now trying to convert the .SOF into a .FLASH format for loading
into the FLASH on the development board using the GERMS debugger.

The conversion process I have used so far is
	sof2flash --input=LED.sof --output=LED.flash --offset=0x01300000

The loading process I have used is
	./Nios-run p com2 led.flash

Using GERMS (m01300000) I can confirm that the code has been
programmed into FLASH but the test code does not run.

I have been around the houses for several hours and am running out of
ideas.

Any thoughts ?

Many thanks,

Mark
