    Hi,


    This flow is for MAX 10 as documented, I have found a KDB related to this issue:

    https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/programmable/articles/000086355.html


    I believe you have done the above workaround, but just to confirm that you have executed the command from a Nios II Command Shell?


    May I know where is your project file located when executing the command?

    Is it local or network drive? Can you try placing your project folder on a local drive? If already, execute Nios II Command Shell as Admin (run as Admin...) and re-try.


    I was able to generate on Linux 18.1, now I am trying on Windows next.

Hi,

Thank you for the quick response.

This is exactly the document I am following. I am using Single Uncompressed image with Memory Initialization as Figure 136 shows.

If you follow the interactive manual to section 5.2.4.32 (page 296 in PDF) and scroll down to "HEX File Generation" is where I am getting the error.

It doesn't matter which .srec file (copied to local folder) I use, I still get the error.
