SOPC warning- Quartus 12.0-

In my sopc builder I don't use any custom component. But it shows the following error msg.

cpu_0:Custom Instruction components can be edited through the component editor

Is this a problem? In nios ii IDE it doesn't work well (says Leaving target processor paused)

Thanks in advance.

    Hi, you are new to NIOS II, aren't you ?

    SOPC will be unsupported. It is replaced with QSYS, quite similar. Both get still bugs (path, script, missing...)

    Do you work with an Altera developpment board ? DE2-2C35 ;-) ?

    After programming flash, it is normal. You can "start" the processor by :

    resetting your board, then the proceessor will boot, usually, at the boot sector in a Flash memory

    entering "nios2-terminal -g" something like that in a Nios Shell.
