Install Eclipse IDE into Nios II EDS

Starting with Nios II EDS v19.1 the Eclipse IDE must be installed manually as it is not included in Quartus Prime software.

  1. Download CDT 8.8.1 which is Eclipse C/C++ IDE for Mars.2: eclipse-cpp-mars-2-win32-x86_64.zip
  2. Extract the downloaded file and rename the <download_path>/eclipse folder to <download_path>/eclipse_nios2
  3. Copy and paste <quartus_installation_path>/nios2eds/bin/eclipse_nios2_plugins.zip to <download_path>
  4. Extract <download_path>/eclipse_nios2_plugins.zip → the Extraction overrides files in <download_path>/eclipse_nios2
  5. To verfiy the correct extraction you should see <download_path>/eclipse_nios2/plugin_customization.ini file
  6. Copy and paste <download_path>/eclipse_nios2 to <quartus_installation_path>/nios2eds/bin/eclipse_nios2
  7. Now you can launch "Nios II Software Build Tools for Eclipse"

      #Quartus Prime 21.1 Lite Edition
      cd path/to/intelFPGA_lite/21.1/embedded/cygwin_setup/


    3. Run soceds-cygwin-setup.bat with passing it the full path to where you downloaded the cygwin installer:

      Code Block
      languagepowershell
      themeMidnight
      linenumberstrue
      soceds-cygwin-setup.bat path/to/cygwin_installer/setup-x86_64.exe


  4. Due to problems with python included in Intel SoC FPGA EDS Standard Edition 20.1 you need to reinstall it.
