    Hi there,

    if there's no device recognized in the main tab, how did u come to refresh the connection?

    First create device:

    Go back to Run Configuration...

    Select Nios II Hardware

    Click on "New launch configuration" (the icon looks like a blank paper with a plus on it)

    Then you define a project name and choose your .elf while, which you build.

    After that it should run

    The names of the input and output pins in the .bdf file

    were matched with the .csv file pin names

    and compiled!

    Simple problem but took time to detect since i had used the software after

    a gap of about one year

    Regards ,
