nano-X problem

Altera_Forum · ‎09-10-2010

Hello everyone,

I wanted to ask a little question on the forum about nano-X. I followed the complete tutorial on the nios wiki for the Framebuffer, but everytime I try to start "nano-X &" I get the following syntax error:

$ nios2-terminal

nios2-terminal: "USB-Blaster ", device 1, instance 0

I tried the tutorial with the neek_Web_server example design and with my custom design, both gave the same results. nios2-terminal automatically exits after giving the syntax error... I'm sure the hardware designs are ok, because when I follow the tutorial to show the console on the neek LCD, it works perfectly.

I did the following steps:

-in the uClinux-dist/user/microwin/src/ I did "make clean" and make, which worked perfectly.

- in the uClinux-dist/ I did "make"

I'm working on this problem for 4 days now, and it's really bothering me. Any help would really be appreciated.

Thanks!

Best,

Hans

Hi!

I don't know if you're still after this issue, but try to check the file type with 'file'. It seems your nano-X binary is not an ELF binary.

steron.
