Hi Guys, 

 

I'm going through the "Nios II Hardware Development Tutorial". Everything is ok until I want to download the program to target hardware and run it using Nios II - Eclipse. I right-click the project, then select run as --> nios ii hardware. Then error occurred. In the console window, the error as follow:

the public mailing list cygwin@cygwin.com 

0 [main] sh 3924 find_fast_cwd: WARNING: Couldn't compute FAST_CWD pointer. Please report this problem to

In the "View Error Log", the error as follow:
