I have not used these commands under Linux before, but it is quite easy under Windows and I would assume similar in Linux. 

 

It may help if you gave a bit more detail of what you have tried and where you are running into trouble. Are you getting a particular error? Do you not even know where to enter the commands? 

 

On Windows these commands should be executed from the "Nios II 9.1 Command Shell" (or similar if you are using a different version). The installer for Nios II EDS should have created a link for this in your start menu. 

 

In the command shell, simply execute the commands: 

 

nios2-configure-sof filename.sof 

nios2-download -g filename.elf 

nios2-terminal

Yes exactly 

In fact, i used the command shell six months ago and i didn't remember how to start it neither if it was on linux or windows. But you are right. It was by using Nios II 9.1 Command Shell in the start menu. I was searching for it in the eclipse IDE for nios2. 

And under linux ? 

Do you think that if we install 91_nios2eds_linux.tar available in the download center of Altera web site, the command  

nios2-configure-sof filename.sof 

nios2-download -g filename.elf 

nios2-terminal 

will be available in a terminal ?
