    I found the solution.

    Anyways, problem is resovled.

    regards,

Hello Isaac,

Error-1 - image2

Clean and build didn't work.

In the steps afterwards,

Edit the application project and library project makefiles and add the inserted code as shown in.

- link or the code is missing.

Error-2 - image1

Nios® II Command Shell doesn't open. When I click on the icon, it just flashes and goes off.

regards,

Vinay
