Honored ContributorEclipse: Project Conversion Failed
I am trying to load a project from the Terasic DE2 CD from Eclipse IDE in NIOS 10.
When I select the workspace the following message shows: "project conversion failed for project hello_led_0 with the following error: Error loading Managed Make project information for project hello_led_0. The tools definitions used to create the project are not available". Any way to fix this?10 Replies
Altera_ForumHi InakiC,
I am trying to load a project from the Terasic DE2 CD from Eclipse IDE in NIOS 10.1. I have the same problem that you said. Did you already solve it? Best Regards- Altera_Forum
hyee
I have the same problem.. Did any one found the solution??? - Altera_Forum
You need to convert the IDE project which is _syslib to Eclipse format which is _bsp in command line, after that import the project to Nios II SBT for Eclipse.

Hi,
Here is the command you need nios2-convert-ide2sbt --input-dir=<source directory> --output-dir=<target directory> --build-config=<configuration> where <source directory>—directory containing the original Nios II IDE project. <target directory>—directory where nios2-convert-ide2sbt places the converted SBT project. If <target directory> does not exist, nios2-convert-ide2sbt creates it. <configuration>—Debug or Release, designating the Nios II IDE project configuration. For more information, you might need to refer here Porting Nios II IDE Projects to the SBT http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2sw_nii52002.pdf - Altera_Forum
Well, we tried that but since we can't even build the project (we are using the DE2_NET example), we don't have a Build or Release folder so the console outputs the error "Not a valid input directory" after trying to convert it using that console command.
What is the problem and what can we do now?? - Altera_Forum
So, just to se what error we got we created an empty Release folder, it asked for a makefile, we created an empty makefile and then this.

Hi, sorry was busy for projects. You need to build at least once to have the either 'Release' or 'Debug' folder. Create a blank project in Nios II IDE and then copy those .c and .h files to application project. Build one time so that you have makefile and .etc ready for conversion.
In fact, why did you want to convert since the project was not built before? You could actually directly create a BSP project in Nios II SBT for Eclipse from scratch. - Altera_Forum
I can't get build and execute this project in my PC (with the NIOS2 SBT 10.1). I installed the Quartus 7.1 and NIOS2 IDE 7.1 to run the project (like indicated for Terasic http://www.terasic.com/downloads/cd-rom/de2/) and convert it.
It didn't run. Look this note of Altera: http://www.altera.com/support/kdb/solutions/rd02122007_738.html So, I believe I need of this path 0.02 to can execute. Do you??? What do you think about it??? thnks!!!
