Hi 

I'm using the web edition of the SocEds on Ubuntu 13.04. The only debug connection available is ethernet. I can build my project, but when I try to setup a debug configuration I get an error basically, no platform is available to choose from, 

"No platforms are available. Ensure that that the correct configuration databases are selected in the Preferences / DS-5 / Configuration Database panel. Platforms that are not licensed for use with this toolkit will not be displayed." 

Any ideas on how to fix this problem? 

 

Thanks

When I go under Preferences ---> DS-5 ---> Configuration Database I can see both, DS-5 Linux and bare-metal targets, and the DS-5 Android and Linux application targets , and both are selected

When I look at the configuration database, the directory listed "com.arm.debug.configdatabase.data.community_5.14.0.20130322_180833" the subdirectory "boards" does not have anything for altera SOC, listed. 

Is that normal? I would expect the target boards to be listed somewhere.

So this morning I installed centos 6.4 ( altera recommend centos 5 i believe). Anyway when I run eclipse under just a normal user, not platform shows up under target for debug configuration, but when I run eclipse as root then it works fines, all the platform are available. 

I will run it as such until I understand what is going on.

I saw your post, and I am having trouble installing the Altera soc-eds on Ubuntu13.04 and/or Centos 6.4. I downloaded the file SoCEDSSetup-13.0.1.232.run and typed the command 

 

sudo ./SoCEDSSetup-13.0.1.232.run 

 

I get "command not found" error. Can you help?

you may need to do a chmod for it to run 

chmod +x SoCEDSSetup-13.0.1.232.run
