Honored ContributorIntroduction to SOPC builder
I am a complete noob http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif to nios and quartus and SOPC too. I need to use them as a part of project. I would be grateful if you could direct me to any helpful stuff which starts right from scratch. I rally have no idea. I have tried the altera web site but it doesnot offer a good help..(may be i overlooked something). So please take pain to help me out of this trouble.
Thnx in advance.http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif Santosh3 Replies

Here's the source of the error you're seeing:
How did you get to this point? SOPC_KIT_NIOS2 should be added to your environment when installing Nios II. Providing more details of what you've done, to get here, as well as what versions of Quartus II and Nios II you are using would certainly help us to help you. Cheers, - slackereperl: SOPC_KIT_NIOS2 environment variable not set - Altera_Forum
thanx a lot slacker, the post helped me identify source of the problem. i set the path as you suggested. now its working and generating the .bdf file.
