Why BSP project ignores "disable generation" ?

Hello,

I encounter this strange behaviour: I try to disable file generation of speciifc HAL driver file.

Yet, although I change it to "-" with "disable generation" and saves the settings

I verified that in xml there are addition lines:

    <IgnoredFileInfo>
 
        <componentName>altera_generic_quad_spi_controller</componentName>
 
        <fileName>altera_generic_quad_spi_controller.c</fileName>
 
    </IgnoredFileInfo>

Yet, on clicking generate bsp, it regenerate the file, and also remove the xml lines from setting, and in gui it also appears as enabled generation.

Any idea why it ignores the setting ?

I'm using quartus 15.1.

Thanks,

ran

    Hello,

    May I know if this is related to Nios II software development or something else?

    If yes, which version are you using?

    Thanks

        Hi,

        This is a known bug that the option to disable BSP file generation in the Nios II BSP Editor not working properly in older version of Quartus.

        The workaround is to manually edit, or script updates to the settings.bsp to re-disable the file generation (or to remove the file).

        Have you try using a newer version of Quartus (17 and up)?

        Regards.
