Occasional ContributorHost File System not working
Hey,
I built a simple Qsys system with Nios inside it and I would like to write and read from file in host machine, so I wrote the following:
#include "stdio.h"
#include "alt_sys_init.c"
int main()
{
FILE* ptr = fopen("Test.txt","w");
fprintf(ptr,"Helloooooo");
fclose(ptr);
return 0;
}
when I run this in debug mode, ptr is NULL, I checked the Host altera_hostfs but still not working
Help Please

Hi,
Please first, make sure you enable the altera_hostfs package by opening the BSP editor>>Software Packages tab>> Check the box in front of the altera_hostfs package.
Next is a sample code to read and write to a file at the host:
#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #define BUF_SIZE (50) int main(void) { FILE= fp_ascii = NULL; FILE = fp_bin = NULL; char buffer[BUF_SIZE]; int read_size=1; /* Reading ASCII File from the host*/ fp_ascii = fopen("file path", "r"); if (fp_ascii == NULL) { printf("Cannot open the file\n"); exit(1); } fgets(buffer, sizeof(buffer), fp_ascii); printf("%s", buffer); fclose(fp_ascii); /* WriteASCII File from the host*/ fp_ascii = fopen("file path", "w"); if (fp_ascii == NULL) { printf("Cannot open the file\n"); exit(1); } strcpy(buffer, "Hellow from NIOS II"); fputs(buffer, fp_ascii); fclose(fp_ascii); return 0; }Regards,
AAlas3It is enabled, anyway I solved the problem: In code when you fopen a file you should write "/mnt/host" with the file path and the pointer will locate the project directory
By the way my name is Ahmad and it is pleasure sir to meet you
YogeshSo suppose there is a read.txt file in project directory along side main.c code with path as below :
E:/folder1/project/read.txt
What should path of read.txt shd be in main.c file?
mnt/host/read.txt ???
