Hi @MV , I solved this error for me. This is due to Python installed alone with SoC EDS. This python trying to access a package. but that is not available in it . To solve this error, we have to remove this python and download latest python then install it in that same folder. please reply me if it is working for you. I'm using 1. Quartus-lite-20.1.0.711-windows 2. SoCEDSSetup-20.1.0.711-windows Steps 1. go to Folder Path - C:\intelFPGA_lite\20.1\embedded\host_tools\python and remove all the content in side the folder. 2. Download "python-3.9.1-amd64" and install it in the same folder path C:\intelFPGA_lite\20.1\embedded\host_tools\python Thanks Rajesh M6.6KViews3likes4Comments
