Occasional ContributorNIOS 2 Tool chain
Hi,
try to set up the NIOS 2 tool chain.
Thats really not easy. I try to follow this document: n2sw_nii5v2gen2.pdf
I think its not the current version for Quartus Prime Lite V20.1, but I didn't find a better one.
I tried to follow the installation procedure for windows, which is quite misleading.
Result: I tried to start the tool chain from the 'Tools' menu and also from the windows 'Start...Intel ..' dialog, but nothing happens except a wait cursor for 2 secondes....
No error message, no hint, nothing.
How do I get this tool chain running? Is there a step by step guid to follow and a chance to locate errors?
With best regards
Gerhard
I found this instructions now in a ReadMe file and this works out fine.
QUARTUS ECLIPSE MANUAL INSTALLATION
1. Download CDT 8.8.1 which is Eclipse C/C++ IDE for Mars.2
a. Windows: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/mars/2/eclipse-cpp-mars-2-win32-x86_64.zip
b. Linux: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/mars/2/eclipse-cpp-mars-2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz
2. Extract the downloaded file into <Quartus installation directory>/nios2eds/bin. You should see <Quartus installation directory>/nios2eds/bin/eclipse
folder after extraction is done.
3. Rename <Quartus installation directory>/nios2eds/bin/eclipse folder to <Quartus installation directory>/nios2eds/bin/eclipse_nios2
4. Extract <Quartus installation directory>/nios2eds/bin/eclipse_nios2_plugins.zip (or tar.gz for Linux) to
<Quartus installation directory>/nios2eds/bin. The extraction will override files in <Quartus installation directory>/nios2eds/bin/eclipse_nios2.
5. Verify the extraction is done correctly by making sure you see <Quartus installation directory>/nios2eds/bin/eclipse_nios2/plugin_customization.ini file
6. You can now launch Nios2 II SBT for Eclipse via eclipse-nios2.exeWith best regards
