Hardware Dev Tutorial Files

Hello all,

I have just started trying to get the Hardware Development Tutorial up and running but the project files in the companion zip file will not open. I get the following error:

"The project or revision name contains one or more of the following illegal characters and

cannot be opened: ^&*|<>;'"

As far as i can see the project file is named correctly:

"nios2_quartus2_project.qpf"

any ideas folks?

many thanks

D

    Ok, I have solved the problem: and it was my bad.

    I had the project files in a folder that had an illegal character. Strange that, as Quartus must see the path as being integral to the filename.

    thanks for looking
