Critical Issue
Description
In the Quartus® II software release version 14.0, if the Qsys
system integration tool’s Address Span Extender slave control port
is disabled, the Address Span Extender acts as a bridge. This can
impact your system design if the Nios® II "reset vector memory" or
"exception vector memory" is set to the Address Span Extender windowed_slave interface;
Nios II will not recognize the windowed_slave interface
as a reset vector location.Qsys
Resolution
You must set the Nios II "reset vector memory" to "absolute" in the Qsys Component Editor.
