Hi niosIIuser,
Yip, seems like we're stuck on the same page.
To check the SOPC builder PATH variable, type : $PATH in the SDK shell.
Mine gives :

Not sure why it says No such file or directory, as that shouldn't be so.
BTW, Did you run "program_flash" from the diecroty into which you copied the example file?
There should be a hello file that is about 1MB in size.
my eCos Lib file directory is
c:\altera\kits\ecos\test_install test_build and test_mlt.
my eCos examples directory is
c:\altera\lits\ecos\examples. so to upload the hello elf file i run the following command from the examples directry:
/cygdrive/c/altera/kits/ecos/test_install/program_flash hello
../test_install/program_flash hello would also work. You basically run the program_flash script from the _install directory, while still in the examples directory.
program_flash then uploaded the hello file, but my nios2-terminal never responded
Does it work for you?
