Build Error 2 - Dummy File

Question

I&amp;#39;ve been having problems building the example count_binary software project (and all others) while working through the NiosII  hardware tutoria. The build kept finishing with the following error...  Error	*** [E:/altera/kits/nios2/tutorials/Nios2_HW_Tutorial/1C20/first_nios2_system_sim/dummy_file] Error 2	count_binary_0		   It took me a while to suss out how to stop this, but it turned out that dummy_file didn&amp;#39;t exist, so it was just a matter of creating  a text file in Windows explorer then renaming this to dummy_file.   The build now works fine.  This has been a public serivce post for any others who have the same problem!   GZoinker.

I encountered the same problem before, and I think a pre post will help you.

Hi,

I had also encountered this problem!

In my case I use Qutarus 4.2 and NiosII 1.0, the problem really spent my a little time.

Finaly I find a method checking " Simulation " in System Generation of SOPC builder before generating

system that can turn the "dummy file error" away.

I agree on that variance between Qutartus 4.2 and NIosII1.0 cause the error .
