Hi,

Can you let me know which Intel FPGA platform that you are referring to?

And what do you mean by "getting auto complete"?

For example, when you are try to change directories, you can type 'cd' and then use TAB to find files or complete the full name of file or dir after typing first few letters. That is what I mean by auto completion.

It is not working on the bash shell.

  Noted.
  
  I will have to defer this to the platform expert @Lawrence_L_Intel - Can you please look into this issue on the Dev Cloud platform?

    Hmm, my bash with a single or double tab works fine for me. There is an article here about bash autocomplete that might help. I've never had to set anything special, it just worked out of the box.
