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:

Hi,
If you are using Windows to install the SoC EDS 19.3, you will need to install the cygwin manually. Please follow the steps to install the SoC EDS below:

Have you try running SoC EDS and bsp editor after installing the cygwin?

Hi Yoshitaka,
Starting from SoC EDS Pro version 19.3 and SoC EDS Standard version 19.1;
Our Stratix 10 SoC and Agilex does not use SoC EDS bsp-editor . However, the bootloader generator(bsp-editor) is still used for Cyclone V and Arria 10 and the steps to build are available below:

Thanks!
