I was trying to go through a tutorial called 'BeMicro Embedded System Lab Instructions'.
But I am stuck at page 43 . The problem is to download the .elf file in the board. To do this I have to run the project as nios ii hardware on eclipse (nios ii eds). But I don't get any option for run as nios ii hardware. I could successfully download the .sof file in the board, so the device driver is working perfectly. I am using Windows 7 32 bit. I re-installed two times but the same result. How to configure eclipse so that I get the run as nios ii hardware option? ThanksLink Copied

2 suggestions for trying to workaround this issue.
a). You're probably now in 'Nios II C/C++ (default)' perspective. You need to change to 'Nios II' perspective. Go to 'Window' --> 'Open Perspective' --> 'Other' and change to 'Nios II'. b). If this is not resolved, you need to run the Nios II SBT for Eclipse as with administrator privileges. On the Windows Start menu, point to all programs, point to altera, point to nios ii eds, right-click on nios ii software build tools for eclipse, and select run as administrator. Hope it helps.- Mark as New

I did what you said. But the result is still the same. Could it be a license problem?

No, Nios II EDS software does not require license. Try to run it on Nios II command shell using the following command since running in SBT Eclipse workspace is unsuccessful.
To download, you might want to use this command: nios2-download -g <software>.elf && nios2-terminal- Mark as New

Coriaa, I would add the additional -r option just in case you have code that doesn't proper drivers:
nios2-download -r -g <software.elf>; nios-terminal The -r resets the system to make sure the entire system returns to the reset state. This is important if you have custom components that don't have HAL drivers that restore the reset state.- Subscribe to RSS Feed
