Hi 

I have so far had no luck in starting the debugger in Nios II SBT v10.0sp1 

I have tried 2 boards (DE2-115) + (NEEK cyclone2c25), both with a quick build of the standard hello world project pr. turtorial guide. 

every time I try to run debug as I get the following error message: 

 

Error creating session 

{R,T}xThread terminated 

 

the console says: 

 

Using cable "USB-Blaster [USB-0]", device 1, instance 0x00 

Processor is already paused 

Reading System ID at address 0x080001A8: verified

I'm a bit newbee into the niosII eds tools and gdb so every input into getting the SBT debugger up and running will be welcome.

Hi, 

I am using the Nios2 IDE 10.1SP1 on winxp system and had the same issue. It seems that after you install an additional plug-in on this Eclipse this error message occur.  

I deinstalled the nios2eds and reinstalled it again after that all works fine. For me it was not sufficient to deinstall the plug-in(s) only.  

 

Regards

I had the same problem NIOSII 10.1 SP1, it all started when I ran the Eclipse menu option Help>Check for updates. When I did this I received an update from one of the C++ developer patches from Eclipse and this seemed to cut the link to the Altera GDB debugger.  

 

Again the solution is to uninstall NIOS2eds and reinstall.

You may not have to uninstall & reinstall Nios2EDS. Click "Help", choose "Search" and enter "revert" for instructions on how to revert Eclipse to a previous configuration. That's how I eventually corrected my problem, which started after allowing Eclipse to update itself.

Hm, same problem occoured for me today, after I've installed SVN plug-in. I need that plugin for libraries. Are there any chances to make it working without plug-in removal and/or reinstallation?

That's what corrected the debugger issue for me as well. However, I still get errors in the error log that I didn't get before. :confused:
