I have installed Quartus 13.1 SP1 on a Fedora machine. I run Quartus GUI, QSYS and all the GUIs withought any problem. When I try to run "NIOS II Software Tools for Eclipse" nothing happens! I also try to run its comamnd from shell but I will see teh same problem. I guess it should be a 64bits or 32bits issue. Any idea?

funky things happen when you try to use an unsupported OS 

 

there are flags you can start nios2-eclipse with that will output some debug information to the terminal upon launch. unfortunately i can't remember what they are, so you'll have to do some searching

13.1sp1? That's a nifty trick considering that 13.1 is yet to be released. :-) 

 

In any case, I have this working on Ubuntu (Xubuntu actually) 12.04LTS and 13.04 as well as Fedora 18. Make sure you're starting it from within a nios2_command_shell.sh. 

 

As far as I'm concerned, it's standard operating procedure to start _every_ Linux application from within a properly configured shell. 

 

Go ahead and delete any .altera and/or .eclipse sub-directories. Read your eclipse log output as well. 

 

Best of luck!

If the Eclipse doesn't start under Linux after installation, see the ARM's recommendation: http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index...s/ka14522.html 

This recommendation is useful for both Nios II SBT and SoC EDS.

Every time I run nios2-eclipse I see it generates a folder called ".altera.sbt4e" and it generates a log under this folder. There are some errors in this log that I coyp them here: 

 

....

!MESSAGE Application error
