The basic steps are:

(1) Build your app using -O0 and -g compiler flags

(2) Ensure that you build the <app>.gdb target

(3) upload <app>.exe to your development board

(4) run the following command from within Nios II Linux 

# debug <app>

(5) create and run a Nios II Linux application debug configuration from within the Nios II IDE
