Please advise: Unable to create project in Eclipse NIOSII Software

file:///C:/Users/CHOOIL%7E1/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-5.png file:///C:/Users/CHOOIL%7E1/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-6.png Hi, I hope to have your advise on this.

I am working out an tutorial to make a simple NIOSII based program by referring to the tutorial below:

http://www.altera.com/literature/tt/tt_nios2_hardware_tutorial.pdf

I have done with the hardware design by using SOPC builder and program has been downloaded to my FPGA DE2 board. But when i try to proceed with software development in Pg 28 to create my C application, I can't generate my C application project. By referring to Pg 29, suppose two item will be generated after i have done with SOPC Information File Name selection and naming my project name.

The error message i got when i am done with the setting are shown as below:

Unable to create project

Reason: Failed to execute ./create-this-app --no-make

As a result of this error, i can't run my project with eclipse after i built it.

I am using Window Vista, Quartus 9.1 and NIOSII 9.1. I locate my eclipes workplace at my desktop and my quartus2 project file at altera directory (C drive).

Please advise what should i do n what is my mistake.

Appreciate for your advise!

    Try running Eclipse as administrator. (Right click on the program link and select "Run as Administrator")

    Hi It works! I have been cracking head for the solution! Even tot my Vista is the root of problem.

    May i know what i the root of this problem? Why i have to run my NiosII Eclipse as administrator?

    And can i ask for your advise how can i do a program with NIOSII to record the sound from Microphone and then save the sampled sound data into memory? And how can i retrieve the data from memory for Fast Fourier Analysis?

    I have refer to the DE2 usermanual... There is an demonstration for KaraOK .. But that isn't work with NIOSII..

    Appreciate for your advise and any reference provided.

    Thanks you.

    I am not 100% sure, but I think the problem is simply that the permissions are not set correctly by the installer for all the required executable files. You could probably fix this by changing the permissions manually but it is easier to just run as administrator. This problem seems to have been fixed in Quartus 10.1.

    I would suggest starting a new thread about this.
