Honored ContributorHi,
I am new user of Cyclone SOC and i have designed a simple project for LEDs, it is working well but when i have tried to program on my FPGA board the .SOF file was missing. I think i could not find it anywhere in my system. Please help me in this regards. Thank you ! Best regards, Shahbaz
Honored ContributorThis file is located in your project folder after you successful compile your design. Especially after the assembler generated the programming file. If errors occure no programming file will be generated.
Honored ContributorThere is no error as compilation was successful, the file should be in the project output folder, but there is no such file exists. I am using Quartus II 12.1 it is licensed.
Honored ContributorUnder Assignments/Settings/Compilation Process Settings you can define an output file directory for your project. Maybe this is done.
Honored ContributorFurthermore you can look at the Processing Message window for an info like:
Info: Assembler is generating device programming filesHonored ContributorWell, i have tried this as well but not working.
Honored ContributorTake a look at your Quartus II Tasks Window.
Are you in the Compilation flow? Can you see the Assembler task under Compile Design? Is it green?Honored ContributorHonored ContributorUnder the Compilation Flow the following task is not green.
- EDA Netlist Writer (i have got one warning message) Warning (199027): Can't generate output files. Specify command-line options to generate output files, or update EDA tool settings using GUI or Tcl script. Could you please help me how to fix this warning ?Honored ContributorFirst of all, go to assignments -> settings -> compilation process settings and make sure that "run assembler during compilation" is ticked.
You can always manually run the assembler by going processing -> start -> assemblerHonored Contributor
