Hi @admaris,


Thank you for posting in Intel community forum and hope all is well.

Just a note, unfortunately for Nios II product it has been deprecated and would advise to move NiosV instead. More details can be found in the link below:

- https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/content-details/781327/intel-is-discontinuing-ip-ordering-codes-listed-in-pdn2312-for-nios-ii-ip.html?DocID=781327


However we would still try our best to get into the challenges you mention on NiosII.

Is this the first time running the NiosII EDS? And what are the OS you have on your machine?

Would suggest perhaps to run the NiosII IDE in the terminal by the command './eclipse-nios2' and observe if there is any java exception or internal error printed.


Also perhaps to check on the NiosII environment setup by running the .sh files in the location below:

- <quartus_install_path>/nios2eds/nios2_command_shell.sh

Hope this clarify


Best Wishes

BB

I ran the command <quartus_install_path>/nios2eds/nios2_command_shell.sh, and after reopening the "Nios II Software Build Tools for Eclipse" from Quartus, I noticed that the Eclipse interface had reverted to an older version. However, when I ran my project again, it no longer hung. I'm not quite sure why running this command resolved the issue, but it worked.
