    Sorry Amanda for confusing you I've replied to the wrong thread. Your issue is a bit easier :) To fix this, follow the next steps: 1. Import the eclipse project o Import-> Nios® II Software Build Tools Project ---> Import Nios® II Software Build Tools Project o Start NIOS® II and select work-space to 'software' folder o Import project code. Select folder for this, and make sure name of project matches folder. o Import BSP files. Select folder for this and again make sure name matches folder. 2. Edit the make file (variable name SOPC_FILE=) and settings.bsp file (Tag name SopcDesignFile=) such that we are pointing to the correct directory of .sopcinfo file.

Hi @ABola2​ ,

We may face such issue when we try import the project in different work-space than quartus project directory.

To avoid warning or error ".sopcinfo file is missing"

  1. Recreate the eclipse project with sopcinfo file or
  2. Import the eclipse project and edit the make file (variable name SOPC_FILE=<DIRECTORY>) and settings.bsp file (Tag name SocpDesignFile=<DIRECTORY>) such that we pointing correct directory of socpinfo file.

Which compile/build the project without error/warning.

For existing projects make sure make & settings.bsp files point to correct sopcinfo file.

import the project and build it.

Steps to import the eclipse project

Import-> Nios II Software Build Tools Project ---> Import Nios II Software Build Tools Project

Start NIOS and select work-space to 'software' folder

Import project code. Select folder for this, and make sure name of project matches folder.

Import BSP files. Select folder for this and again make sure name matches folder.

or

Zip the software folder and import.

Import->general->existing project into work-space->next->select archive file->finish.

Let me know if this has helped resolve the issue you are facing or if you need any further assistance.

Regards

Anand
