NIOS is stuck at alt_tick after reset

Hello all,

I am working with Alter NIOS terasic DE3 board-

I've written a software for NIOS.  When I run it in debug mode it look
fine. When I press the on-board reset I can see in the IDE that it has
entered reset mode. when I press the resume button - the SW is stuck.
If I press the pause I see that the SW is stuck in a loop insited
alt_tick.c --> void alt_tick(void)...

Does anyone know what is the source of the alt tick? how comes that it
works fine on first run and then stuck?

thanks alot,


Guy

Hi Adam...

I am not using flash for the nios program- all the SW is located at an
internal ram....

So you have to only update mif files thru compilation :)
