Description
When the Nios® II Software Build tool for Eclipse initiates a debug connection, the file ".gdbinit" is searched for and loaded if found. This is an internal feature of the GNU debugger. If the user has a .gdbinit file from another Eclipse or GDB software environment in the search path, this can interfere with debugging Nios II.
To work around this issue, rename or delete .gdbinit files that are visible in the path before starting a debug session.
