How to "Attach to existing program on target (no download)" in EDS 9.1sp2 ?

In previous NIOS IDE, the debugger allowed to "Attach to existing program on target (no download)".

This was quite useful to inspect the state of a running program.

How is it possible to do the same with the NIOS EDS 9.1sp2 ?

Thanks,

P9

    Hi,

    On older versions (<9.0sp1), I use

    StartMenu>Altera>...>Nios II Shell

    then, I type

    nios2-terminal

    type nios2-terminal --help for command line options (cable...)

    It should work on Nios II 9.1.

    Hi,

    I also have this problem. I would like to do the debugging from the EDS, not from the command line.

    Best Regards
