How to "Attach to existing program on target (no download)" in EDS 9.1sp2 ?

In previous NIOS IDE, the debugger allowed to "Attach to existing program on target (no download)". 

 

This was quite useful to inspect the state of a running program. 

 

How is it possible to do the same with the NIOS EDS 9.1sp2 ? 

 

Thanks,

Hi, 

 

On older versions (<9.0sp1), I use  

StartMenu>Altera>...>Nios II Shell 

then, I type 

nios2-terminal 

 

type nios2-terminal --help for command line options (cable...) 

 

It should work on Nios II 9.1.

Hi, 

 

I also have this problem. I would like to do the debugging from the EDS, not from the command line. 

 

Best Regards 

Anne
