Re: U-Boot "Synchronous Abort" boot failure on Terasic Atum A5 Rev B via Quartus 24.3 .jic generation
Dear Customer, We have not hear back from you and it has been idling for a while. We will continue to monitor this post for the next 5 days. If there are no further inquiries during this period, we will step back and allow the community to assist with any future follow-up questions. Thank you for engaging with us! Best regards, Altera Technical SupportRe: How can I use Quartus Pro 25.1 sopc-create-header-files tool to generate a jtag master header file?
Hi DLiu5 , Apologies was out of office, so basically factory team for HPS and NIOS have gotten back to me on this , the script is not used for both HPS and NIOS generation in later releases. The script is part of Platform Designer in Quartus component thus they are not able to advise on the workaround or provide any plans to change the script. Additional comment for Nios side, for Nios V system.h generation, it is best to use niosv-bsp or BSP Editor, rather than using sopc-create-header-file as Nios V team didn't validate this sopc-create-header-file with Nios V. As for the PATH issue , the current Nios V Shell didn't link to sopc_builder/bin. https://docs.altera.com/r/docs/743810/25.3.1/nios-v-processor-software-developer-handbook/manual-system-path-variable-setup Thanks Regards KianRe: How can I use Quartus Pro 25.1 sopc-create-header-files tool to generate a jtag master header file?
Hi DLiu5, Apologies and thanks for confirming your path is correct. I've tested on my Windows 11 pc with Windows Quartus 25.1.1 and I could observe 2 things 1. Error A: 'sopc-create-header-files' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. or Error B: sopc-create-header-files: command not found Depending on where the script is called (both in Nios V command shell), either in windows directory or WSL (via bash) or Error C: Environment variable QUARTUS_ROOTDIR is empty. Do you have Quartus II installed? Solution: ensure both Path are set correctly i)QUARTUS_ROOTDIR="C:/altera_pro/25.1.1/quartus" ii)PATH="$QUARTUS_ROOTDIR/sopc_builder/bin:$PATH" 2. Error A Failed writing output file to /sopc-create-header-files.38.tmp.swinfo sopc- create-header-files: sopcinfo2swinfo.exe --input=c:/my_de25_nano_workplace/my_first_qsys_system/qsys_top/qsys_top.sopcinfo --output=/sopc-create-header-files.38.tmp.swinfo failed Solution: I suspect this is because the sopc-create-header-files script is using hardcoded /tmp/ folder (as per linux) but in WSL it still following Windows directory formatting. Note: I edited the sopc-create-header-files script so that instead of using hardcoded /tmp/ folder, use the current working directory and convert the path into Windows directory format 1) if [ "${_IS_WSL}" = "1" ]; then swinfo_tmp_fname="$PWD/${PN}.$$.tmp.swinfo" fi 2) if [ "${_IS_WSL}" = "1" ]; then swinfo_tmp_fname="$(adjust_path_mixed "$swinfo_tmp_fname")" fi In my terminal I'm using these commands (I do not have any path set in my windows environment variables so need to export each time terminal is launched) bash export QUARTUS_ROOTDIR="/mnt/c/altera_pro/25.1.1/quartus" export PATH="$QUARTUS_ROOTDIR/sopc_builder/bin:$PATH" sopc-create-header-files hps_subsys.sopcinfo I will check with our factory team on this to confirm the solution and also any plans to change the script. Thanks Regards Kian
