Run Configuration Cannot Find Imported Custom Makefile Project

Description

After you import a project using the Import Custom Makefile for Nios II Software Build Tools Project option, the Nios II SBT fails to recognize the imported custom makefile as a Nios II C/C application project. As a result, the project name does not appear in the list in the run configuration.

Resolution

• In the Run Configuration dialog box, select any visible Nios II C/C project. The project need not be related to your custom makefile project. Note: If there is no Nios II C/C project in your workspace, create a dummy project, such as Hello World, through the File menu, by clicking New, Nios II Application and BSP from Template.
• Turn on Enable browse for file system ELF file.
• Browse to the correct .elf file for your custom makefile project to complete creation of a run configuration.

Alternatively, install the Altera Complete Design Suite version 10.1 or later.
