Honored ContributorQuartus 7.1 Sp1 and DSPBuilder 7.1Sp1
Hallo everyone,
I have a problem with my Installation. I have installed Quartus 7.1 Sp1 and DSPBuilder 7.1Sp1. If I want compile any Example Model like "singen" an error occured. The SignalCompiler shows the following message: Created Quartus II Project C:\altera\71\quartus\dsp_builder\DesignExamples\Tutorials\GettingStartedSinMdl\singen_dspbuilder\singen.qpf Generating HDL Analyzing model... Matlab Error Java exception occurred: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: checkOut at com.altera.dspbuilder.portmanager.PortManager.checkOut(Native Method) at com.altera.dspbuilder.serialisation.ModelSerialiser.<init>(ModelSerialiser.java:88) Error during generation: Analyzing Error: See log for details. Has anyone an idea who is the problem? or where I can found the log file? So long Mario31 Replies
Altera_ForumI am having the same issue using Win2K. I've tried going back to versions 7.1 of everything. Using the FILEMON utility from the systeminternals folks shows a curious behavior. In the Signal Compiler/advanced interface hitting the 'Create Project' button works fine but the Synthesis button spawns a process that looks for a file quartus_sh.exe without success. It starts in the Matlab directory. I've had no useful suggestions from Altera's support people over the past 2 weeks.

It's already loaded its classes or he wouldn't have had a Java exception in the first place. (Look at the stack trace in the first post). It's highly unlikely to be anything to do with Matlab/Simulink, but is in fact because DSP Builder only supports Windows XP as is stated in the release notes.

Did you install Matlab/Simulink as "read-only"? If so, then it would prevent you from accessing its JAVA class, which DSP Builder needs... You can always try reinstalling Matlab/Simulink...

And of course you have MatLab / Simulink & ModelSim simulator installed as well.

DependancyWalker shows apphelp.dll is missing und some other problems with modules missing in system specific dlls.
apphelp.dll is XP specific and also the other dlls can not be replaced. Therefore I guess it is not possible to run DSPBuilder with Win2000 ... :-( I always had in mind the Altera software would also support the Win2000 OS. Maybe thats wrong for DSPBuilder.... - Altera_Forum
Yes that sounds like the problem.
The release notes for 7.1 state that it requires XP unfortunately. You can use depends from http://www.dependencywalker.com/ to find out what DLLs are missing. It's possible they can be installed onto your machine, but I really don't know. - Altera_Forum
Yes, the PortManager.dll is there.
But it seems that the method CheckOut, which is a member of PortManager can not be excecuted/linked correctly. Are there different versions of PortManager.dll available or does PortManager.dll depend on some other files that are missing on my system? By the way: I am running the software on a Win2000 SP4 operating system. So could there be a problem that PortManager.dll depends on a missing OS dll? - Altera_Forum
In the directory %QUARTUS_ROOTDIR%/dsp_builder/bin, there should be a file called PortManager.dll. Is this DLL there?

I have the same problem, but a reinstalltion of all Altera software components (Quartus II 7.1 SP1, DSPBuilder 7.1SP1 and MegaCore 7.1SP1) does not solve it.
Are there other issues that could cause this java exception? Thanks for your help, Bernhard - Altera_Forum
And make sure you also install the IP files MegaWizard disk.
