Hard EMIF QSYS generation problem

Hi all,

I'm running Quartus 12.1 on Win 7. I'm trying to migrate my design from "SOPC Builder for Cyclone 4" to "QSYS for Cyclone 5".

Because the Altmemphy is no longer suported, I created a UniPhy. But when I generate the design I get the following issue : 


Error: s0: Error during execution of "{C:/altera/12.1/quartus/../nios2eds/Nios II Command Shell.bat} make all 2>> stderr.txt": child process exited abnormally
Error: s0: Execution of command "{C:/altera/12.1/quartus/../nios2eds/Nios II Command Shell.bat} make all 2>> stderr.txt" failed

Error: s0: UniPHY Sequencer Microcode Compiler

I found a post http://alteraforums.net/forum/showthread.php?p=151954 claiming the solution is "edit nios2eds/bin/elf2hex, change first line to# !/bin/bash". But for me, it doesn't work.

Does anybody got an idea?

Thanks is advance.

    Hi Luca,

    (2nd reply)

    No special characters, no spaces and no "long" path for your Qsys project !

    Try to put your Qsys project folder right below your work disk (C:\ ).

    regards,
