Honored ContributorBuild Error 2 - Dummy File
I'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'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.3 Replies

Hi,
I encountered the same problem before, and I think a pre post will help you. topic: dummy_file error posted on: Feb 23 2005, 03:10 AM Good Luck. http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif - Altera_Forum
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 .
