Nios II EDS installation issue on Quartus V21.1

I have installed the Quartus 21.1 and manually installed the Nios II EDS per document Intel FPGA Software Installation and Licensing, but i can't create new project from template, pls see the attached file for details.

  • Hi,

    Do you have any further update or Should I consider that case to be closed?

  • The following solution helped me:

    Created a new environment variable in Windows:

    Name: WSLENV

    Value: SOPC_KIT_NIOS2/p

    After restarting Eclipse and Quartus it worked.

      Hi,

      Looks like the problem is solved by you own.

      Do you have any further update or Should I consider that case to be closed?

      Thanks

  • Thank you for your reply.

    although i resoved this issue, i don't know why, for example, what's the usage of this environment variable? and from the forum, i found many guys met the same issue as me but with different solutions.

    why intel doesn't put all this solution into a document which works as a detailed guideline for EDS installation so that the new comer can run smoothly instead of wasting time.

    it took me 5 days to install the nios ii EDS successfully.

    thank you again.
