New ContributorHi Manu30,
I can't directly relate to installation on Windows or the particular version that you are using, but I have gotten the Nios II IDE to function in Linux with the 23.1std version of the tools. I would recommend updating to that version...if you can...
As an additional note, I'd recommend using Nios V for any designs. It's supported going forward. Nios II is deprecated and, frankly, hasn't had adequate support for the better part of 10 years. I'd only use Nios II, these days, if it were my only option.
Can you point to exactly which installation instructions you tried to follow please?
I might have to rope someone in who actually uses Windows to help on the "funky" Windows installation fun.
Best Regards,
Andor
New ContributorHi,
For my current application, the use of the Nios II processor is a requirement, which is why I have selected this platform.
Following the installation procedure outlined on the Intel forum, I am using it as a reference for setting up the environment.
Installation is done based on the procedure explained the following link,
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/software-kit/757262/intel-quartus-prime-lite-edition-design-software-version-22-1-for-windows.html
As part of the Nios SBT IDE setup, installing WSL along with the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS distribution is necessary. I would like to know if improper installation of WSL could potentially cause issues in this context. Then kindly help me to resolve this issue.
New ContributorOkay...
Have you tried something along the lines of what's described here:
https://www.annabooks.com/Articles/Articles_FPGA/Intel-FPGA-Tools-Setup-Rev1.1.pdf
It seems to have pretty thorough coverage for what you're attempting to do....I know it's not for exactly the version you're attempting to use, but as Nios V existed by then...I doubt the instructions have changed much between the versions in the linked PDF and what you're attempting to do (perhaps, a more recent version of Eclipse, etc., but otherwise it should look very similar).
BTW, does it work to build (and run) via the command line? On any platform I'm testing, I check to ensure the CLI works before I attempt to bring up and IDE. At the CLI, I can debug low-level things like JTAG connectivity (using "jtagconfig -d" for example) and (for Nios II) make use of nios2-download and nios2-terminal. You can access most (if not all) necessary commands by entering a "Nios II Command Shell". It sets up your $PATH so that all the Nios II commands are accessible as well as some common Quartus II commands.
With respect to your specific question...yes, I suppose a "funked up" WSL installation could cause issues. I think it makes sense to get CLI "stuff" working, first, and then move onto using the IDE (Nios II SBT for Eclipse).
Regards,
Andor
