(Very beginner) Waring after running hello_world.c as Nios II hardware

Hi everyone, I am very new for Nios II IDE.

After I run the hello_world.c as Nios II Hardware.

The result is something like this.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

nios2-terminal: Warning: The JTAG cable you are using is not supported for Nios

nios2-terminal: II systems. You may experience intermittent JTAG communication

nios2-terminal: failures with this cable. Please use a USB Blaster revision B

nios2-terminal: cable or another supported cable. Please refer to the file

nios2-terminal: errata.txt included in the Nios II development kit documents

nios2-terminal: connected to hardware target using JTAG UART on cable

nios2-terminal: "ByteBlasterMV [LPT1]", device 1, instance 0

nios2-terminal: (Use the IDE stop button or Ctrl-C to terminate)

nios2-terminal: directory for more information.

Hello from Nios II!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you know what is wrong?

In case that I run the hello_world.c as Nios II Instruction Set Simulator, everything is ok.

the result is only "Hello from Nios II!"

For more details, the hardware I used is Cyclone board (ACM-007-20C8), and the download cable I used is Altera ByteBlaster BL3 as in this link http://www.amazon.co.jp/humandata-altera%e5%af%be%e5%bf%9c%e3%83%80%e3%82%a6%e3%83%b3%e3%83%ad%e3%83%bc%e3%83%89%e3%82%b1%e3%83%bc%e3%83%96%e3%83%ab-2mode-bl3/dp/b0019lu0u4 .

Could you tell me what I did wrong??

    It isn't an error, it is just a warning telling you that you may have communication problems with the cable that you have. But your application is working, as you can see on the last line.
