bsp-editor not found in SoC EDS Pro 19.3

Hi,

I'm starting my development with Arria 10 and I need to use bsp-editor. I have downloaded and installed SoC EDS Pro 19.3. However, I cannot execute bsp-editor in SoC EDS Command Shell. I looked into C:\intelFPGA_pro\19.3\embedded\host_tools\altera\preloadergen. In that folder, I see bsp-generate-files.exe, bsp-query-settings.exe, etc... except the bsp-editor.exe.

How may I install bsp-editor?

Thanks,

Yoshitaka

    Hi,

    May I know from which link you downloaded the SoC EDS Pro from?

    I have checked in my directory there is a bsp-editor.exe in my folder.

    I recommend that you re-download the software again and install here:

    http://fpgasoftware.intel.com/soceds/

    In the mean time I'll try to re download and reinstall to check again if everything has installed properly.

    Regards.

      Hi, el.ign,

      Thank you for your reply.

      Yes, last time I have downloaded SoC EDS Pro from that link.

      This time, I uninstalled SoC EDS once, then reboot the computer, download​ and installed again.

      But bsp-editor.exe was not found. Instead, I see "com.altera.embeddedsw.bsp.editor.jar" in preloader folder. The situation does not change.

      By the way, each time installing SoC EDS Pro, the installer gives no error and finishes. However, when I try to use SoC EDS Command Shell, the .bat file won't run because cygwin is not installed automatically.

      So I install cygwin manually, reading the instruction in "C:\intelFPGA_pro\19.3\embedded\cygwin_setup" folder. Does this making problem?

      Best Regards

        Hi,

        If you preferred the bsp-editor GUI, please proceed to use the 19.1 version of SoC EDS. The bsp-editor GUI is removed in 19.3.

        I have confirmed in 19.1 SoC EDS, the bsp-editor GUI is available.

        FYI, using the command line in the link below to generate the bootloader will use newer bootloader as compared to the bsp-editor GUI which is using the old version:

        Best Regards.
