For Nios V in Quartus Standard, you will be using the "niosv-bsp-editor" to generate the BSP, and Ashling RiscFree IDE to build the project.
(Nios II Eclipse IDE is not enabled to support Nios V.)

You may refer to the Max 10 Nios V project example here.

    Thanks for pointing that to me , yes i was able to generate bsp as per document "AN 985: Nios® V Processor Tutorial" , But now i am stuck on this step :     

    See also attached my Niosv command console messages :   

    Any idea why niosv shell cannot recognize these switches ? Thanks

      Hi Fpga_Egr_2025 

       

      Could you try out the command format below:
      niosv-bsp -c --quartus-project=top.qpf --qsys=sys.qsys --type=<hal, ucosii, or freertos> software/bsp/settings.bsp

      Try removing the backslash.
      Able to replicate your issues when "\" is present.

      "\" works as a line continuation character in Linux, but that doesn't work in Windows.
