warning: rmt error : failed to get remote thread list

--- Quote End ---

I am getting the same error (in the debugger) after installing the 5.0.1 on a new PC.

Have you solved your problem?

I found a fix.

The problem seems to be related to the import feature. If you import, you can end up with some mismatched project info (paths or ???). Maybe it is related to the install.ptf .

Anyway, just create a project from scratch and copy your source files into it.

it's does not solve the problem

I have a jtag-uart as part of my project, but I use one of the serial ports as the debug console.

When I ran into this problem, I was simply installing the same 5.0.1 tools I had on a new machine (quartus 5.0 web version + nios5.0.1 full version). I copied the two project folders and used the import feature to bring them in. Using "Run", the code ran as expected. Using "Debug", gave the RMT warning and some kind of variable dump in the IDE console window.

I later discovered that I could simply do a "resume" and the debug session would begin.

I also found that a newly created "hello world" project did not have the problem, which points to something wrong in the project files I imported.

Once I created a new project from scratch and copied my source files into it (different project name), the strange behavior went away.

A similar problem description exists on non-altera gdb/eclipse forums.

If you still have problems, I would make sure you have only one version of the altera tools installed.

I was talking strictly about SW projects. The only HW related file I put on the new machine is the project .ptf .

Remember that when installing the tools on a new machine, you need to run quartus once before using the Nios IDE. There is also some new errata about running SOPC once.

This is an innocuous message... You'll note that it's appearing on the GDB client (or server...forget exactly which) console. If you go to the upper left hand corner of your "consoles", you can switch back to Nios II Terminal there.
