Hi.

the tutorial says to open 'Software Build Tools for Eclipse', and then to press File -> New -> Nios II Application and BSP from Template. i don't find that option.

there is no mentioning of Nios at all in the New menu.

i tried to open EDS, but i still cant find the "Nios II Application and BSP from Template" option.

I had the same problem when I first installed Quartus II version 11.0. I had to uninstall then reinstall the Quartus II package to get it to work. For some reason Eclipse can install without the Nios II option. Not sure why, but reinstall worked for me.

Good luck...
