I have the following problem:
I'm running the (32bit) Quartus 11.0sp1 and Eclipse built tools for the NIOS-II on a Win7-machine with 64bit.
An additional standalone-programmer for Quartus 12.0sp2 (64bit) is installed.
Programming both .sof/jic files and NIOS-II .elf-files works.
What doesn't work is: Debugging in the eclipse environment.
Error-message is: "Error starting gdbserver - see console for details"
But there are no details in the console! I already tried to disable all firewall and virus scanners, but the problem still exists.
And I have to admit, that I do not really know what this message means. Is it a configuration problem of eclipse? Can I setup the gdbserver somehow? Is it a problem with the JTAG-Connection? I also tried to manually debug the software, but I didn't get far. The pdf "nios-II command-line tools" didn't help me much.
I'm really a bit lost now. Where can I find further informations what's really wrong? What shall I do?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks
Andreas
