Must Use Nios II Build Configuration

Although Eclipse can support multiple build configurations, you must use the Nios II build configuration

for Nios II projects.

Note:

If your project was created with version 10.1 or earlier of the Nios II SBT, you must re-import it to

create the Nios II launch configuration correctly.
