Yes, when I enabled the small C library in the BSP editor, then I got rid off these errors.
But now I have a different issue, that I have missing Software Packages in the BSP editor. Is there a way to install them without uninstalling Eclipse ? I'm specificly interested in "altera_safeclib" package as I want to use the "Generic Quad SPI controller II Intel FPGA IP" to communicate with the external flash we use "MT25QL512ABA". Since that package is missing and I cannot enable it in my BSP settings, when I run "alt_flash_open_dev(NAME_OF_FLASH_IN_SYSTEMH_FILE)" it always returns zero, meaning that it fails to open the device in order to read/write. I have followed the instructions for having Nios2 support in Eclipse (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/programmable/articles/000086893.html?wapkw=installation+guides&erpm_id=13401520_ts1708675042469) but this guide is wrong, in step 2 when I extract the tar.gz file, it creates a folder with a name "<downloaded_file_name>" which includes an "eclipse" folder in it. So I supposed I needed to take that "eclipse" folder to one level above and then rename it. Even after that, the extraction in step 4 also ends up pretty much the same, with an additional parent folder above "eclipse_nios2" and therefore it cannot overwrite the renamed folder. I rtied copying it manually into the renamed folder, but then the whole Eclipse crashed and I couldn't run it again anymore. I had to uninstall and re-install the whole Quartus Prime software...
After reinstalling, the steps in the link didn't end in a different result, I still don't have the software packages I want for the BSP settings. I'd appreciate if you (or another colleague of yours) can assist me with that @EBERLAZARE_I_Intel .
Note: During the Quartus 21.1 Std's installation, Eclipse Development Software (EDS) for Nios2 was already installed, by using the files/packages Intel provided. I couldn't find any plugin SW packages on the internet either...
PS: I have tried replacing the Quad SPI IP with "Generic Serial Flash Interface Intel FPGA IP" with checking the option "Enable SPI pins interface" on the Platform Designer, but also that didn't have the BSP package "altera_safeclib". So the proposed solution on the other posts regarding this topic by the employees did not work. Is there another way to get that BSP package somehow ? @EBERLAZARE_I_Intel
