12 years agoHi,
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)
