Hi,

I use Cyclone V: 5CEFA7F27C7 and I have Quartus 15.1 version. Yes, I had done pin assignments, I connected clk_clk to a Pin as shown the below screenshot. I check the above link but still, I have the same problem.

In the link I found a pdf of The Nios II Embedded “Hello World” Lab: For The MAX 10 Development Kit. In the 39th page pdf, it is written that Once the build completes, you should observe a “.elf” file (executable load file) under the hello_world_sw project. If the .elf file does not exist, the project did not build properly. When I built my project, I can see .elf folder on the project explorer as can be seen in the appendix photo. Then, I get the error when I debug or run it.

Regards.
