Hi Jacob11


I am Jingyang and was recently assigned to this case.

Sorry for the late reply as there was a public holiday here.


We are deeply sorry about the experience you had so far with the Nios IDE.

Let me try to reproduce the steps that you are facing and will get back to you as soon as possible.


Regards

Thank you Jingyang.

This is such a weird problem. All pf last week, what I got from the Eclipse GUI was "download ELF failed," except for a few hours on Wednesday afternoon when it magically started working. Then the rest of the week up until Monday morning yesterday it was giving "download ELF failed."

So, yesterday after lunch I asked a more experienced colleague to look at this with me and see if he has any ideas. So, I ran the program from the GUI and it worked perfectly from the GUI.....lol. No errors....no issues.

I am not sure what settings are causing this issue at this time. Since everything works consistently in the command line, then I think there is some settings in Eclipse that are not correct. But the error message doesn't give any indication of what the problem could be, so I cannot fix it.
