Super ContributorSignal Tap is not a licensed IP so that wouldn't prevent you from getting a .sof file, time-limited or otherwise. But it doesn't make sense that Signal Tap is disabled and yet you are seeing it. Are you confusing Signal Tap with something like "sld_hub"? That's just the JTAG interface for debugging.
I use Pro so the setting may be in a different location, but check that you have .sof file generation (the Assembler) enabled or try running the Assembler manually from the Processing menu to see if it spits out a file. Also check Assignments -> Device -> Device and Pin Options and Assignments -> Settings -> Assembler.
New ContributorIt has been a few years since I ran licensed copies of Vivado or Quartus at work. These days I run the Lite version of Quartus which works great for my hobby stuff.
You are right that there was a difference between the project I ran some years back and the one I am trying to get to run under 22.1. I used Nios II/f then, but I found literature that indicated it was not available for this latest version of Quartus Lite so I am running Nios II/e which works fine for my purposes. In the past I would see a time-limit.sof generated, but maybe Nios II/e does not do that. Selecting the Nios II/e compiles with no errors.
The problem I am running into now is that when I try to generate a "Neos II Application and BSP from Template" with Eclipse, it generates 3 errors during Build even when using the standard "hello world small" file. Guess it is time to go over to the Eclipse forum and bug them.
Thanks for your help
