NiosV µC/OS-II

Hello,

I try to design a NiosV program with TCP/IP based on this example design:

    Arria® 10 FPGA – Simple Socket Server for the Nios® V/m Processor Design Example

I understand that uC-TCP-IP library needs µC/OS-II but this option is not available in bsp editor GUI (only hal and freertos are available). When I try to execute the command from the project README, I have the following error :

$ niosv-bsp -c sw/bsp/settings.bsp -qpf=hw/top.qpf -qsys=hw/sys.qsys --type=ucosii --cmd="enable_sw_package uc_tcp_ip" ...
2026.03.11.18:36:31 Warning: Environment variable SOPC_KIT_NIOS2 not set
2026.03.11.18:36:38 Info: Searching for BSP components with category: os_software_element
2026.03.11.18:36:41 Error: BSP type "ucosii" is not valid. Valid types are:
 * freertos
 * hal

I'm using Quartus Version 23.4.0 Build 79 11/22/2023 Patches 0.70 SC Pro Edition

Thank you for your help.

    Hello,

    Glad to know the Quartus 25.1.0 resolved the issue. The other issue you reported seams like installation issue for missing package. But i have referred this issue to internal team to get proper response. We will get back to you soon.

    Thanks

      Hello,

      Ok, this is working using Quartus Version 25.1.0 Build 129 03/26/2025 Patches 0.36 SC Pro Edition.

      Does it mean I have a problem with the Quartus 23 installation?

      I also have this message many times during compilation:

      /usr/bin/cmake: /home/intelFPGA_pro/25.1/quartus/linux64/libcurl.so.4: no version information available (required by /usr/bin/cmake)

      Thanks

        Hi antoineb​ 

        Ok, this is working using Quartus Version 25.1.0 Build 129 03/26/2025 Patches 0.36 SC Pro Edition.
        Does it mean I have a problem with the Quartus 23 installation?

        I believe you are facing similar issue explained in this KDB.
        Nevertheless, the rule of thumb is always installed the latest Quartus software.

        Why do I get ERROR: SOPC_KIT_NIOS environment variable not set? | Altera Community - 341170 

        I also have this message many times during compilation:
        /usr/bin/cmake: /home/intelFPGA_pro/25.1/quartus/linux64/libcurl.so.4: no version information available (required by /usr/bin/cmake)

        I believe it is benign.
        But as commented by tehjingy_Altera​, it is recommended to "run the cmake from niosv-shell".
        This is because the Nios V Command Shell re-establish $PATH to use the cmake in RiscFree IDE, which helps our customer to get the same environment as our system here.

        Since your case is related to /usr/bin/cmake, you are using the default cmake from OS.
        Unfortunately, we have no visibility on how your OS's cmake may behave or affect your compiled binaries.
