Can't Set Project Name in NIOS-II Hardware Debug Configuration

Hello All,

When setting up the debug configuration for a NIOS-II project (compiles file, project has a name...) - I can't make the Project Name drop down box on the debug configuration fill with anything. I've tried up/down arrow, tab, etc. The elf file is ok (set that manually), the USB Blaster is recognized; if I do a jtagconfig -n it shows the USB-Blaster and NIOS-II cores; so all of that looks good.

But the debugger is never enabled because I can't set the project name.

I've read all I can find; other than having a valid project that builds OK - I can't find anything in the docs that immediately addresses difficulty in setting the Project Name for a NIOS-II Hardware debug configuration.

Thanks In Advance,

John W.

    Quartus version is 18.1.0.625

    I've resolved that problem - was pointing to the wrong directory.

    Now - I can seem to get the jtagserver to start. jtagserver --install seemed to work (running as admin) - but jtagserver --start times out.

    Running the diag tool for the cyc1000 board:

    Arrow USB Programmer2 Diagnostic Program V1.1

    Reading version info.

    - Operating system version number is 10.0.17763.

    - Quartus version is 18.1.0.625.

    Searching programmer hardware.

    - Arrow USB Programmer2 AR2E3I3D found.

    - Successful.

    Reading registry entries for programmer DLL.

    - Successful. TCK frequency is 20.000.000 Hz.

    Searching programmer DLL.

    - Successful. Programmer DLL installed properly.

    Checking Altera JTAG server service.

    - JTAG Server is installed but not running.

    - Error. Wait timed out after sending start request.

    Reading registry entries for FTDI driver configuration settings.

    - Successful. FTDI driver configuration settings are OK.

    Total errors: 1

    Hit any key to exit program.

    Any clues on this?

    Thanks,
