no BSF-File generated with QSYS

Hi there,

...problem with quartus. I use the free web edition and take the nios2/e processor.

I created 4 times a system with QSYS. After the generation I want to import the symbol in my quartus block-file,

but there is no block from the created system.

In the generation-menu "create block symbol sign..." is crossed...

I give the whole project names without an space, only whole words...

Why does Qsys not generate a block file ?

Thank you

    1) Stupid question : do you get errors before or while generating ?

    2) Altera suite uses java, perl, Tcl... So maybe your antivirus or HIPS does sandbox the app. From my experience, Comodo Firewall doesn't like Quartus Qsys and Nios EDS, I had to launch 10 times so as Comodo to accept and remember.

    Hi,

    I think i found now the mistake.

    If you create a softcoresystem with QSYS you have to create first the Nios System with QSYS, before you make something with quartus. After that you can import a bsf - symbol into

    a BlockDiagramShematic. A BSF_File will generated.

    At first i create my BlockShematicFile with Quartus and run after that QSYS. No BSF-File ist generated and no Symbol in the BlockDiagramShematic

    available.

    Thank you for your answer.

    Greetings
