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.

      This bug is still present in Quartus 20.1

      Are there plans to actually fix this? It's been years at this point. The only thing that's happened in the mean time is that rshal2's fix no longer seems to work.

    Hi,

    We need to use version 15.1 by customer request.

    Anyway, I did eventually solved the issue, by changing the driver tab from "default" to its number (I think 13.1 was the only other option except for default),

    After doing this change, it all worked as should be.

    Thanks,
