Help Needed: Error "nios2-elf-as.exe: not found" while Assembling Nios II Program

[csnsssn]

Hello everyone,

I'm encountering an issue while trying to assemble a Nios II program using the Nios II Command Shell. The specific error message I receive is:

```

nios2-elf-as.exe --gstabs -I "C:/intelFPGA_lite/21.1/nios2eds/components/altera_nios2/sdk/inc/" simple_program.s -o simple_program.s.o
/bin/sh: 1: nios2-elf-as.exe: not found
make: *** [amp.mk:79: simple_program.s.o] Error 127

```

I'm not sure if there's a specific step I'm missing or if there's an issue with my environment setup.

Could someone please guide me on how to resolve this issue? Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi csnsssn,

Did you run the Nios II command shell first in your terminal?

You can find the Nios II Command Shell.bat in the Nio2eds folder in your quartus installation file.

Thanks.

Hi Aik Eu,

Thank you for your suggestion.

I ran the Nios II Command Shell as you advised. I have also tried using the older version of the monitor program (version 18.1), and it successfully compiled the program. However, the issue persists with the newer version (21.1), and I'm still encountering the same error.

Any further guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your help!

Hi csnsssn,

I am not familiar about the command(nios2-elf-as) which you are trying to run, it is the nios2-elf-ar as below?

Can you try the run other command in the Nios II terminal like sof2flash and see if it is being recognized by the terminal?

Thanks.
