5. If you have a valid Nios II development license, and have already loaded
the configuration data into the Cyclone II FPGA, proceed to step 7.
6. If you do not have a valid Nios II development license, or have not loaded
the configuration data into the Cyclone II FPGA:
a. The Nios II EDS IDE displays the following text in the Console
window:
There are no Nios II CPUs with debug modules
available which match the values specified. Please
check that your PLD is correctly configured,
downloading a new SOF file if necessary.
b. The Quartus II Programmer window opens.
c. In the Quartus II Programmer window, click Add File to open the
Select Programming File dialog.
d. In the Select Programming File dialog, select the
DBC2C20_FTXL.sof file and click Open.
e. Ensure that the USB-Blaster download cable is defined in the
Chain Description File for the project. See Using a Device
Programmer for the FPGA Device on page 103 for information
about configuring the Chain Description File.
f. Select the Program/Configure checkbox for the
DBC2C20_FTXL.sof file.
g. Click Start to load the selected SRAM Object File
(DBC2C20_FTXL.sof) into the Nios II processor.
h. Do not close the Quartus II Programmer window. You must leave
this window open while you are running the example application.
i. Return to the Nios II EDS IDE, right-click the Application project
from the Nios II C/C++ Projects pane, and select Run As → Nios
II Hardware. The Nios II EDS IDE recompiles the project.
7. You should see the Service Pin LED (LED 4) on the DBC2C20
development boad flash slowly, indicating that the FTXL device is not
configured. Use a network management tool, such as the LonMaker
Integration tool, to configure and commission the device (you do not need
to load the application into the FTXL Transceiver). The Service Pin LED
should be off when the device is properly configured.
When you commission the FTXL device, use one of the following XIF files,
depending on which example application you want to run:
• [ MyFTXL ]\FTXL_Simple_0\Simple Example.xif
• [ MyFTXL ]\FTXL_DynamicInterface_0\Dynamic Inteface
Example.xif
where [ MyFTXL ] is the location that you specified for the project when
you created it within the Nios IDE. The subdirectory name is the same
as the project name that you specified when you created the project.
To send a Service Pin message to the network management tool, press the
Service Pin Button (button 0, labeled P25) on the DBC2C20 development board.
Of the set of four pushbuttons, Button 0 is the closest to the center of the board.
