8 years ago --- Quote Start --- I am running NiosII IDE on my windows 7 professional laptop. When I first create a sopc project and complie and download *.sof into target board, then I also create a demo NiosII project "Hello world!" and debug it normally. Howerver, after I close NiosII IDE and restart it, I cann't debug it anymore eventhrough I don't change anything in both Quartus and sopc. It gives me a prompt that "Lanching hello_test Nios II hardware configuration has encourntered a problem. Downloading ELF Process failed". No matter I restart my laptop or power off my target board, it doesn't work! If I rebuild a new same sopc project and rebuild a new same NiosII project, it can work.But there is the same problem if I close it and restart it again. Please help me!:confused::confused::confused: --- Quote End --- Hi all, After many day of getting into this trouble. Finally, I have found a solution. Just stop, and then re-start your jtag server on your PC. ------- This is what I did: 1. Open Services: Winkey + R, enter "services.msc" without quotes, and hit OK. 2. Look for Altera JTAG Server, hit stop, wait a second for it to stop, and then hit start. 3. Retry to run as nios hardware configuration ----------- If you continue to get error, please consider to open nios --> system console, then refresh connection. Let me know if it's helpful for you.
