DE2-115 demonstrations: "nios2-download: command not found"

[Altera_Forum]

I just bought a DE2-115, installed Quartus 11.0sp1 (and NIOS). 

USB blaster shows up in USB devices and it responds to ControlPanel.exe (only the win7 64 bit version). Host is Windows 7 32bit.  The IR demonstration loads and runs fine (DE2 responds to remote control). But other demo produces the following errors:  ------------------------------------------------- Altera Nios2 Command Shell [GCC 3] Version 11.0sp1, Built Mon Jul 4 01:29:34 PDT 2011 ------------------------------------------------- bash: nios2-download: command not found bash: nios2-terminal: command not found  I have added Quartus bin directory to the path e-var, no difference. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It`s may be you do not change the workspace , you can try it . You should look over the workpath of QuartusII and NiosII .

I have the same problem . I tried switching the workspace from NIOSII IDE but it didn't work.

I've done now a pretty dirty hack - and perhaps get other problems somewhere. I simply do not see at this early stage, how this works all together. 

 I changed the file "nios_bash" in around line 96 from (version from 11.1sp2):  PATH="/bin:/usr/bin"  to  PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/cygdrive/d/altera/11.1sp2/nios2eds/bin:/cygdrive/d/altera/11.1sp2/nios2eds/bin/fs2/bin:/cygdrive/d/altera/11.1sp2/nios2eds/bin/gnu/H-i686-mingw32/bin"  and now the demonstrations batch files seem to run. please notice the fixed drive name /d/ in those paths, which is due to my installation.

you can use emeditor or word pad open the xxx.bat than replace @ set SOPC_BUILDER_PATH_xx=%SOPC_KIT_NIOS2%+%SOPC_BUILDER_PATH_xx% 

to @ set SOPC_BUILDER_PATH=%SOPC_KIT_NIOS2%+SOPC_BUILDER_PATH%
