Eclipse crashing whilst connected to target

[Oliver_I_Sedlacek]

As per title, after running for a few minutes my Eclipse hangs quite consistently. When I close  I get this exception report:

Anyone seen this, got any work arounds?

Hi @Oliver_I_Sedlacek,

Thank you for posting in Intel community forum and hope all is well.

Quick clarification, the Eclipse mention here is where you are dealing with Nios processor as well as FPGA related hardware?

And just some confirmation on the below details:

- Which eclipse version are you using?

- Is it windows or linux which you are working with?

- Based on the error quartus would be 20.1 lite?

Hope to hear from you soon

Best Wishes

Eclipse version is Mars.2 Release (4.5.2)

NIOS II EDS is version 20.1.0.v20201112-1755

Host OS is Windows 10 Pro 64 bit

I'm developing both hardware and code and for the year or so  I've been doing my development I've not seen this before.

All gone very quiet, do I start a support case?

Hi Oliver

This is the first time I am looking at this error message.

Could you try sharing your project so that I could try to reproduce the error message that you could see?

Attached. Not sure how you can recreate this without hardware though.

Hi Oliver

Just to ask, when you are debugging with the Eclipse.

Are you running the juart-terminal together?

If yes, could you try closing the juart-terminal before start debugging.

After flashing the board and attached the debugger only you open the juart-terminal.

Hi Oliver

Are you still experiencing Eclipse crashing after closing the the juart-terminal before connecting eclipse?

Hi Oliver

Are you still observing crash when connecting to eclipse?

[Oliver_I_Sedlacek]

I'm now very strict about the order in which I connect the debug adapters and launch Eclipse so I have a work around.

The fragility of Eclipse is still disappointing though.

[Oliver_I_Sedlacek]

How quickly things changed, just crashed Eclipse again.

[JingyangTeh_Altera]

Hi

Usually I will "Terminate and Remove Connection" in eclipse and close any juart-terminal after each debug session or before flashing.

Hi

Any update on this case?

[Oliver_I_Sedlacek]

No. Sometimes it crashes, mostly it doesn't. If Intel doesn't care about their tool stability and quality or want to log it as a bug then I'm not going to bother.

Hi

Could you try reinstalling the quartus and nios eds again on your pc?

After removing quartus please check if the file quartus2.ini and quartus2.req is present in "c:/user/<username>/"  for windows or "home/<user>/.altera.quartus" in linux. If they are present please remove them before reinstalling quartus.

Once quartus installed is completed you will need to reinstall the nios2 EDS with the steps below:

No, I'm in a critical stage of a big project and I dare not do anything that breaks Quartus-Eclipse.

Hi Oliver

Sorry that I could not help much on this issue.

If it is okay with you could we close this case?
