Target request failed: No symbol table is loaded.

Sorry I don't mean to cross-post but I first asked this question in the following thread: 

http://alteraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22007 

 

However that thread was originally created to deal with other more generic problems and my question is now more relevant to this forum. 

 

I'm receiving the following error when I try debug on my DE2 board: 

 

--- Quote Start ---  

 

Unable to set temporary breakpoint in main. 

Reason: Target request failed: No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command.. 

Continue? 

Yes | No  

 

--- Quote End ---  

GDB console output: 

 

--- Quote Start ---  

mi_cmd_stack_list_frames: No stack. 

No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command. 

165-target-select remote :50681 

165^connected,thread-id="0",frame={addr="0x00040020",func="??",args=[]} 

(gdb)  

166-gdb-set new-console 

&"No symbol table is loaded. Use the \"file\" command.\n" 

166^error,msg="No symbol table is loaded. Use the \"file\" command." 

 

--- Quote End ---  

The debug symbols obviously aren't being loaded for some reason however I'm unsure why. I am compiling and running debug mode so I'm unsure what the problem is. 

 

Any help would be appreciated.
