New ContributorSwitching newer NIOS II versions
I just found out a fix for switching versions!
While working on a python project, I found out how to access Environment Variables in Windows.
In Win10 Start Menu, go to View Advanced System Settings. In that window there is an option to view Environment Variables. I re-directed the NIOS II to point to the 9.2 version and I can run the batch file like usual.
However I have a new error. Now I get an error that tells me that it "can't execute a binary file".
New ContributorSo I just had something interesting happen. I wanted to get you more information because this whole setup uses a nios kit. When I went into the kit, there is a batch file called "Nios SKD shell.bat" when I run this, it keeps me in version 9.1!
For your information it is an Altera Nios development kit version 3.20 build 18.
However the command that we need to run still doesn't work. It tells me that the command is not found.
The command that we use is "nr -x "c:\file.germs"". This is supposed to invoke a nios-run command and start downloading the file.germs over COM1 to the target Cyclone FPGA.
This issue is slightly off topic from my initial question though.
