Bonjour

I have had that problem, This is what I do :

1) load your image (*.sof) with The programmer

I start the programmer from Quartus , but it should not matter where you start it from.

2) Run Configuration => NIOS II hardware , go to the Target connection Tab and do Refresh until the connection appear. Do refresh anyway.

Then RUN.

I also had problem running modelsim from ECLIPSE (run CFG => Modelsim). It would not start my Modelsim because of some PERL errors. I did upgrade to 10.1sp1 and the problem is now gone.

Hope it helps

Benoit
