Software Settings file (STF) damaged

Hi,

I have a built a project using in 'Embedded_Systems_Lab ' from http://www.nioswiki.com/embedded_systems_lab.

But when I try to create an application using this built system I get the error

"Software Settings (STF) file associated with thi project is damaged

Reason : java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: c".

How to overcome this problem?

Thanks for the solution,

    Hi,

    Can you show me your nios project software setting file (STF)?

    You can find this stf file from <Nios IDE>\Nios_project\applicaiton.stf

    Because of the error Nios_project is not created, only syslib project is created. I searched for .stf file in the project directory also but it is not present.

    Is there any error you got while creating new project?

    No. I am able to create the required files .pft, .sof etc... successfully.

    Is it because of the web-edition of QuartusII?

    I tried creating a project from NiosII command shell also but getting the same error.

    Thanks,

    Hi Nishant,

    I mean, while creating project in Nios IDE.

    By the way, are you trying to create new project in Nios IDE or just reopen the existing project. I think you will not get the error if you create new blank project and copy your c source file inot it and builde the poject. Let try with it.

    Hi,

    I am trying to create a new blank project using the DE1_system.ptf file created by following the steps in 'Embedded_Systems_Lab'.

    So i think there might be something wrong with the Quartus project but there were no errors and everything went well while compiling and building it.

    The problem is solved and I could create the project successfully.

    There was a space in the project path which was causing the error.

    Thanks!!!
