13 years agoI have just had the same problem, after installing Quartus/NiosII v12.0sp2.
(On a Win 7, 64 bit system). I have fixed the problem by downloading and installing the standalone programmer : 12.0sp2_263 .sof programming then works. cheers, Beau Ah, but the Eclipse Debugger still does not see the hardware : [Target Connection]: No Nios II target connection paths were located. Check connections and that a Nios II .sof is downloaded Exiting Eclipse and the programmer and re-running Eclipse : Eclipse now seems to use the standalone programmer, does the .sof programming. It gets further but then there is a different message : Downloading ELF Process failed. Does anyone have any ideas what I could try now ?
