			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I have the Nios II development kit Cyclone IIEP2C35. I have downloaded the the free web ver. of Quartus 10. The install didn't come with the example that is explained on the getting started users guide. I looked everywhere but was unable to find it. Does anyone know where I can download this prototype or may be know somewhere else where I can look for an easy/beginner type examples to learn with?...Totally new, but excited to figure this thing out.<br />
<br />
Your help is greatly appreciated<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hello,<br />
<br />
does anyone has experience using the 8MB SRAM on Cyclone III Dev. Board?<br />
<br />
I'm interested in the speed of the SRAM. In the &quot;&quot; document on page 64 they talk about &quot;...The Samsung part features a maximum frequency of 104 MHz (104 Mbps)...&quot;.<br />
So, does it mean that the SRAM can accessed with 104 Mbps or do they mean 104 Mbps per PIN. The databus has a width of 32, so is the speed 104 Mbps or 32*104=3328Mbps?<br />
<br />
Thanks for every hint!</div>

 <br />
I cannot have the VGA demonstrations correctly working.<br />
 <br />
I can see the default image and the cursors, but if I try to use any else image created by the image converter (.dat, .txt ecc...) and load the file into SRAM and then configure the asynchronous port1 (also tried the other ports!) no correct imagers are shown; actually, only the created .txt file shows some portions of the image, but not correctly.<br />
 <br />
Anyone have the same problem?<br />
 <br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hey,<br />
i'm trying to write and read to/from the sram with a cyclone3 fpga on a NEEK. I wrote a little code to check if it's working, but it doesn't and i tried very much around but to no avail. The clk input is driven by a pll with 100Mhz (of course i connected the SRAM_clk to it). I changed the configuration scheme to passive serial to use DATA[0] and DATA[1] as regular IO-pins. So here's the code, maybe someone will notice a mistake i haven't come across.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hello,<br />
I am pretty new to Altera FPGAs and Quartus II. To get started I have an older NIOS II development kit. I am able to use it for plain Quartus projects by making use of the Quartus II Programmer. However, I have not figured out how to write my design into the flash to make it permanent. Most posts I read about that, talk about making use of the on-board EPCSxx but it does not exists on my board.<br />
<br />
What I found in the documentation is a tool, to restore the orignal NIOS II configuration. This definitly will come in handy later. But for now, I want to replace this original configuration with my non-NIOS designs.<br />
<br />
Can anyone tell me how to do this? It might me so obvious, but I cannot see the solution.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hey all,<br />
<br />
I bought DE2 evaluation kit. In one of the discs it has DE2_demonstrations library and there DE2_i2sound project.<br />
In this project there is a block called i2c.<br />
<br />
According to WM8731 datasheet, start condition of i2c protocol is transition of data pin from high to low while clock pin is high, and the stop condition is transition of data pin from low to high while clock pin is high (like described in i2c protocol).<br />
<br />
In the design of i2c unit in DE2_i2sound project start condition is transition of clock pin from high to low while data pin is low ans stop condition is transition of clock pin from low to high while data pin  is low.<br />
<br />
Why does it work?<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks ahead</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hi,<br />
I found a NEEK board (3C25) which is not in use for a long time. As i am trying to play with linux, this is a very good platform. This board is getting reset continuously with any sof file provided with examples except standard. I restored all flash and SD card to factory restore, which did not solve the problem. when I hold the reset button, fpga configures from flash. nothing happens on lcd.<br />
If I load sof from stabadrd exaple, i can run hello world (Iinfine loop) program without a problem.<br />
<br />
Is my board gone? or Is it a Power problem? Any ideas?</div>

I eventually got it working, but used seperate PIO pins, seeing that i could not get hold of an IP core that is supported by the HAL.  Anyway, here is the code i used for initializing the LCD:<br />

</font></font></font></font><font size="2">}<br />
 <br />
The code works perfectly and I can even turn pixels on and off anywhere on the display.  The problem however is that when i switch a pixel on, the rest of that column also lights up slighty (but is definately not on).  It is annoying because when i draw graphics on the lcd, it looks like there are ghost images next to the graphics i am drawing.  I suspected that it could be something to do with the supply voltages V1 to V5 that the board provides to the LCD, but they seem within range according to the datasheet - and besides - surely Altera double checked these values before building the board.  I would really appreciate any help. I have tried contacting the people from Altera that our university normal deals with, but i havent had a single reply from Altera yet.  Just as a matter of curiosity - do any of you deal with Xilinx products and what are their support like?<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hi,<br />
<br />
I was reading quite a while in your foum and finally I managed to get registered here as I'm encountering problems with my NIOS II design. I know there may exist similar threads like this one, but I didn't truly get answers to my questions.<br />
<br />
I'm a student currently working on my bachelor thesis and my task is simplified to collect data from PIOs with a NIOS II (which does not really pose a problem ;) ) and sending them to a PC via Ethernet.<br />
<br />
I have got the following equipment:<ul><li>DBC3C40 Development Board</li><li>Quartus II 9.1 SP2</li><li>NIOS II EDS 9.1 SP2</li><li>Triple Speed Ethernet IP-Core</li></ul><br />
As I'm quite new to FPGA and Ethernet design and programming, I've got some questions which I'd highly appreciate if you could answer them to me.<br />
<br />
After gathering basic knowledge in FPGA designing and programming, my first thought was to use the UDP protocol for sending data via Ethernet as it isn't as complicated as TCP/IP, but then I read here that it would be quite easy to implement TCP/IP with the NicheStack. Followingly I tried doing it by reading tons of documents and tutorials but I didn't  truly manage to get the point in doing so as the complex protocols together with the MicroC/OS-II RTOS quite overstrained me :-/ Additionally, there don't exist any tutorials especially for the DBC3C40 board, which makes the understanding worse.  <br />
Does it really make sense to use the TCP/IP NicheStack or would a use of UDP pose less problems ? <br />
<br />
Or do there even exist some more .. &quot;high level&quot; stacks which would make designing easier? The triple speed ethernet does not necessarily have to be used. <br />
<br />
Does there exist a tutorial which shows the implementation &quot;from the ground&quot; and doesn't require a certain development board ?<br />
<br />
Another question which I find quite stupid but didn't find an answre for it:<br />
In NIOS II EDS there exist 2 Eclipse-based IDEs: the &quot;NIOS II 9.1 Software Build Tools for Eclipse&quot; and the &quot;NIOS II 9.1 IDE&quot;. What is the difference between those two programs and which one would be best to use ?<br />
<br />
Much thanks for your answers! =)</div>
