I am running NIOSII 8.1 on a windows 7 PC and it crashes out on a regular basis with a Java error. 

 

Any ideas how to stop this happening. 

 

I have attached a copy of the error message produced.

8.1 isn't officially supported in Windows 7 so you might not be able to work around this. If you are running Logitech setpoint software (their mouse and keyboard software) try killing it and see if the problem goes away. 

 

If you upgrade to 10.0 then you should have better luck. I have used 9.1 and 10.0 on Windows 7 but I didn't use the Nios II IDE much (I use the software build tools usually)

i agree with BadOmen, but sporadic crashes can sometimes be fixed by bumping up the Java virtual memory. there is an .ini where these are defined, for Nios II IDE it might be: 

 

nios2eds/bin/eclipse/nios2-ide.ini 

 

edit: 

 

-Xmx256m 

 

to: 

 

-Xmx512m 

 

i think this may have been covered in another thread if you search around
