    Hi,

    Did you follow a "getting started" guide ?

    Which Nios II IDE version are you using ?

    You may mean that you can't find "Run as NiosII Hardware..."

    Do you right-click on your project to do "Run as" or do you "run as" through top menu ?

    In order to run a Nios II on a board, you must first configure the board :

    * by downloading to the FPGA the correct .sof

    * by using "factory config" (or others but one with Nios II CPU) if you are using an Altera development kit

    If you are writing your custom software, have you built a BSP (if you are using Qsys or "system library" if you are using SOPC)

    Thank you 'mmTsuchi' for quick reply,

    1-yes

    2- Nios II 11.1 Software for Eclipse

    3-No, I don't have any board, so I want to do my work using simulator

    4-I do right-click on my project to do "Run as".

    5- I am using SOPC and I have built a BSP.

    I did all you have mentioned.
