bsp-generate-files SEVERE: null

Thanks in advance. I know that I have done this command before and it has generated the "uboot" directory. But now I'm working on another project (just the GHRD for the Sodia Eval board) to embed to the QSPI and I get an error (see below).

My steps before this command were:

1. Use the GHRD for 16.1 for the Sodia - but utilize Q 17.0 - so I a) generate in QSYS b) recompile

2. Use the bsp-editor to specify that I want to boot from QSPI and generate

3. Start up the embedded-command-shell and

a) bsp-create-settings --preloader-settings-dir=hps_isw_handoff/soc_system_hps_0 --type=uboot --settings=software/settings.bsp

b) bsp-update-settings --settings=software/settings.bsp --set uboot.boot_device QSPI

THEN --> when I do the "bsp-generate-files" there is the error.

WHAT AM I MISSING ??
