Hi,

I also had this problem when I upgraded Quartus to version 4.2

Apparently, SOPC Builder 4.2 is no longer compatible with Nios1.01

So you have to upgrade to Nios1.1, or downgrade to Quartus 4.1, or compile as this :

Compile your program, delete the dummy_file and create a new empty file named dummy_file (or make a touch dummy_file) and re-launch compilation.

It worked for me, but the easiest is to get Nios1.1 (available on this forum)

Yours,
