Honored Contributortarget processor: not responding
This is my first try with NIOS2 and the niosII_stratix_1s10_es eval. board. Compilation, cofiguration worked fine. I then invoke IDE and build Hello_world which gets downloaded to the board ok but...

Honored ContributorI have the same problem, with the low-cost Cyclone development kit, with the ep1c12q240.
It is also my first experience with the Altera development tools. The first few compilations the processor worked ok, but all subsequent compilations generate processors that apparently are dead (I kept the .sof file, and it still works - so it is not a hardware failure). I added a timer with the timeout pulse enabled, followed by a flip-flop and a led. It should blink if the processor is minimally working. In the first compilations the led blik as expected, and the "hello world" works ok. In later compilations the processor seems dead, and I get the same message as you. I suggest you do the same; if the led does not blink, we should have the same problem. I am using Quartus 4.2 sp1, build 178, and Nios 2.1.1.
