Why isn't my Nios II detected when using the Nios II Hardware v2(beta) launcher in Eclipse for Nios II?

Environment

    Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition
    Nios® II Embedded Design Suite (EDS)
    Nios® II Processor
BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

Due to a problem in the Quartus® software version 16.0.1, Eclipse for Nios® II may fail to detect Nios II hardware when using the Nios II Hardware v2(beta) launcher.  

The configuration window may show: Unable to communicate with system console.

 

Resolution

To overcome this issue use the non-beta launcher, or 

  • Launch NiosII Eclipse SBT
  • From Nios II menu bar, run System console, and wait for this console to finalize its startup (device detection)
  • Right click on the application folder, Run As > Run Configurations > Nios II Hardware v2 (beta).

 

The Nios II instance should be found and Running/debugging can be launched.

This problem is scheduled to be fixed in a future relase of the Quartus software.
