nios2-download on command line not working

I am attempting to use the demo project for the DE3 DDR2 example.

Whenever the batch file (contents listed way below) gets to the line nios2-download, it gives errors about the command.

I tried running it in cygwin (my install) as well as its batch file which calls the nios version of cygwin but it gives the same errors:

Any clues on what's going on?

    I´m experiencing exactly the same problem.

    Were you able to find the solution to that?

    I´m using Win7-64 and have cygwin installed.

    Cheers,

    Its been so long ago that I had this but I think it was a problem of the unix to dos problem. So, I remember taking all the script files (plain text) and running the dos2unix on the file. Do, nios2-download is a script call to other files some executables. So, do this on that file

    dos2unix nios2-download

    And it changes the line endings to the right format for cygwin. I think if you ran the command in windows command window, it would be needed but cygwin is Unix-like.
