Hi Windows 10 ProVersion 2004OS buid 19041.330 Quartus prime version 20.1 Build 711 standard edition The platform designer generates the following error. Error: s0: Error during execution of "{C:/intelfpga/20.1/quartus/../nios2eds/Nios II Command Shell.bat} make all 2>> stderr.txt": child process exited abnormally When the platform designer tries to generate HDL code I have tried to both switch on and off the “Windows Subsystem for Linux” according to https://www.intel.com/content/altera-www/global/en_us/index/support/support-resources/knowledge-base/tools/2018/error--s0--error-during-execution-of---c--intelfpga-xx-x-quartus.html but no luck (seems odd to switch off “Windows Subsystem for Linux” when the bat file Nios II Command Shell.bat is using wsl).

Now Ubuntu 20.04 & version 2 is OK for Quartus 20.1.1. But, Why must I uninstall & reinstall ubuntu ? I can not understand. Please Tell me the reason.

We are in the process of filling a kdb on this. Description:Due to a problem in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition software version 20.1 and earlier, you may see the error above when you generate the system in the platform designer.This error happened if you are using updated Windows 10 version and your design consist of DDR4 memory.workaround:To workaround the problem, you can follow the steps below:1) uninstall Ubuntu* 18.04 (if you have one)2) uninstall wsl 3) re-install wsl4) download latest Ubuntu 18.04 from Microsoft Shop & install it5) execute following on Ubuntu shell : sudo apt-get update sudo apt install wsl sudo apt install dos2unix sudo apt install make sudo apt-get upgrade Alternatively, you can refer to here for updating the WSL 2 software.Please take note that Intel does not provide any warranty or guarantee regarding the use of third party software. Hyperlinks to other internet resources are used by you at your own risk.This problem is scheduled to be fixed in a future release of the Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard edition software.

That's was pretty much what I have done, I have even upgraded to wsl --set-default-version 2. However, I have hijacked the C:\intelFPGA\20.1\nios2eds\Nios II Command Shell.bat like this wsl bash -c '%NIOS2_SHELL_SCRIPT% %*' 2>> c:\temp\test.txt And the content in the test.txt file result in /mnt/c/intelfpga/20.1/quartus/../nios2eds/sdk2/bin/nios2-bsp: line 451: nios2-bsp-update-settings: command not found nios2-bsp: nios2-bsp-update-settings failed make: *** [setup] Error 1 Line 451 in nios2-bsp look like this nios2-bsp-update-settings$windows_exe --settings "$settings_pname" --bsp-dir $bsp_dir --sopc "$sopc_design_file" --script "$default_tcl" ${default_tcl_options[@]} ${create_update_options[@]} || { So if I change the line temporarily into /mnt/c/intelfpga/20.1/quartus/../nios2eds/sdk2/bin/nios2-bsp-update-settings$windows_exe --settings "$settings_pname" --bsp-dir $bsp_dir --sopc "$sopc_design_file" --script "$default_tcl" ${default_tcl_options[@]} ${create_update_options[@]} || { Now the script will "find" nios2-bsp-update-settings and execute it The problem is that your are missing paths to your scripts and/or changing to the installation directory when executing the scripts and/or adding a installation path prefix to your scripts and/or update the PATH variable so it can find the scripts in /mnt/c/intelfpga/20.1/quartus/../nios2eds/sdk2/bin, (${_ACDS_ROOT}/nios2eds/sdk2/bin).

Hi Your suggestions is what I did in first place but the error remain You should change the line 37 in ${_ACDS_ROOT}/nios2eds/sdk2/bin/nios2-bsp from if [[ $uname =~ "Microsoft" ]]; then into if [[ $uname =~ "Microsoft" || $uname =~ "microsoft" ]]; then On my machine uname will return uname = '4.19.104-microsoft-standard' then the nios2-bsp script will be able to execute line 451 nios2-bsp-update-settings$windows_exe --settings "$settings_pname" --bsp-dir $bsp_dir --so ($windows_exe will be set correctly)This get ride of the first execution error and the scripts can move forward. Now the scripts encounter the following error in the "Generate HDL log" Error: s0: Cannot find sequencer/sequencer.elf Which seems to be related to WARNING: The BSP persisted OS version "9.1" is not available. The default latest BSP version will be used instead. WARNING: The BSP being loaded used OS version "9.1". The BSP version "20.1" will be used instead. Makefile:515: Warning: SOPC File C:/Users/StefanThorlacius/AppData/Local/Temp/alt8456_4792771601944741470.dir/0533_s0_gen/qsys_pre_compile/pre_compile.sopcinfo could not be found. make[2]: nios2-elf-gcc: Command not found make[2]: *** [obj/HAL/src/alt_dcache_flush_all.o] Error 127 make[1]: *** [../sequencer_bsp-recurs-make-lib] Error 2 make: *** [elf] Error 2

If above suggestion to nios2-bsp is correct then line 28 in ………./20.1/nios2eds nios2_command_shell.sh should be changed from if [[ $uname =~ "Microsoft" ]] to if [[ $uname =~ "Microsoft" || $uname =~ "microsoft" ]] as well

have you done the steps below?

1) uninstall Ubuntu* 18.04 (if you have one)
2) uninstall wsl
3) re-install wsl
4) download latest Ubuntu 18.04 from Microsoft Shop & install it
5) execute following on Ubuntu shell :
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install wsl
sudo apt install dos2unix
sudo apt install make
sudo apt-get upgrade

  Yes, there is clean installation of WSL 1 (without update), Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and the linux packages (upgraded).
  
  I'm suspecting some issue with nios2-elf-gcc.exe which is used for compiling the alt_dchache_flush_all.c

When you mention without update, did you work on the below?
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install wsl
sudo apt install dos2unix
sudo apt install make
sudo apt-get upgrade

This is an important steps to follow.

  Hi,
  
  I'm a co-worker with SThor8. Still same problem with the EMIF IP. We have tested the suggested solution on several computers with clean Windows 10 2004 installations with exactly same error result when generating HDL. I've tested version 19.1 + patch and 20.1. However I had no problem with 19.1 + patch before the release of the Windows 10 2004 update.
  
  Regards
  
  Peter

we make some fix on 20.3, kindly wait for it. 20.3 will allow M and m for WSL.

Also, can you be specific on what steps that you had done beside installing the patch?

  I ran into the same big M small m issue.
  
  Our solution was to use wsl to:
  
  1. unregister Ubuntu
  
  2. set as default WSL 1:
  
  wsl --set-default-version 1
  
  3. reinstall Ubuntu with all its updates as suggested by Intel
  
  If Ubuntu uses WSL 1 (even if you have WSL 2 installed) uname -r will return the right, upper case "M" Microsoft.

  Hi
  
  Before you guys create a patch, remember there are several issues, at least 3
  
  1. Some of the building scripts is using uname-r to check the platform, this is where the big M and little m problem occur.
  
  One example is nios2_command_shell.sh others are
  
  2. Some scripts is not using uname -r but other ways to determinate the platform and they also get the problems with the M and m
  
  Most notable is reading the /proc/version file, like some perl scripts which fails because of the M and m
  
  One example is intelFPGA/20.1/nios2eds/bin/nios2-stackreport.pl
  
  which use
  
  open my $handle, "<", "/proc/version" || return;
  my $first_line = <$handle>;
  close $handle;
  return ($first_line =~ /Microsoft/);
  
  3. There is a hickup from the earlier used cygwin remains to the new wsl when it looks for "/bin/gnu/H-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin" to create the build env variables.
  
  4. Paths problem for gcc at the very bottom.
  
  nios2-elf-gcc.exe: fatal error: cannot execute 'cc1': CreateProcess: No such file or directory
  
  gcc can not find the cc1 executable, it is not copied to the temporary build directory structure that is on the fly created when compiling nios.

    Hi Intel.
    
    Can you please give an update on the status on the UniPHY generate issue?
    
    Are there patches available for the various Quartus releases starting from 19.1 that fix the issues?

  Hi Filip.
  
  This patch solved the problem on my computer:
  
  https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/programmable/articles/000088789.html
  
  It did however not solve it on another customer's computer, so I would be interested to hear your result...
