DE0 Nano - Problem using the provided examples

Hi,

i just received my DE0 Nano board and I've been trying the examples in the system CD.

I've downloaded and installed Quartus 11.0sp1 + Nios II/Nios II GCC4 Toolchain.

Every example works fine, except the myfirst_niosii example.

When I execute the batch file, it programs the .sof file into the FPGA, but it is unable to to start the test_bashrc.

Excerpt of test.bat:

" "%QUARTUS_ROOTDIR%\bin\cygwin\bin\bash.exe" --rcfile ".\test_bashrc" "

After the .sof file is programmed, it gives an error saying that it is unable to find the nios2-terminal and the nios2-download commands.

From what I can understand these commands are called so that the hello_world_0.elf file is downloaded and run.

Anybody can help me shed some light on this?

Thanks in advance

    Bumping an old thread, but this is the top result when I googled my problem and I figured someone might want this fix in future. The SOPC demo wasn't working, the problem can be fixed on windows by creating a DE0_Nano.sh file in the demo_batch directory with the following:

    # file: nios2_sdk_shell_bashrc

    "$SOPC_KIT_NIOS2/nios2_command_shell.sh" nios2-download DE0_NANO.elf -c 1 -r -g

    "$SOPC_KIT_NIOS2/nios2_command_shell.sh" nios2-terminal -c 1

    # End of file
