I compiled using the nios2 command shell. How do I debug it using the nios2 EDS tool?

Hello,

In case you built your application and BSP folders using the Nios II command line, and you want to use Nios II IDE for debugging, kindly follow the steps below:

1- Make sure you have installed Eclipse along with Nios II Plugin. If not installed, follow the steps in this guide: 3.1. Installing Eclipse IDE into Nios® II EDS

2- Open Nios II IDE from Nios II command shell using eclipse-nios2 command. This ensures all the required env paths are available for the tool.

3- From File -> Import -> Nios II Software Build Tools Project -> Import Custom Makefile for Nios II Software Build Tools Project

4- Select the Project location. Do this twice to include the APP and BSP folders.

5- You should see the included directories inside the Project Explorer

Thank you,

Fawaz.

    Hello Fawaz,

    Thank you for your helpful advice.

    I followed the instructions and finished the build project without any errors.

    I can see that the build project executes "wsl make all".

    " The "make" command should update the elf file, but it didn't, even though there were no errors.

    Is this normal?

    Why isn't the elf file being generated, even though there's a warning message in main.c about not finding the include file?

    Thank you

    Michael
