New ContributorQuartus 18.x and 20.x Eclipse unable to open .sopc file on Linux
Issue with Nios II Eclipse Tools with Quartus 18.x and 20.x on Linux. Quartus 18.x and 20.x both work perfectly fine on the Linux platform, but the issue arises when we start using Eclipse for Nios II software development. The problem I am encountering is that Eclipse is not able to read/parse the .sopc file that is created by Quartus. In Eclipse and only in these versions and only on Linux does this issue arise, Windows does not have this issue. In Quartus 16.x Eclipse reads the .sopc no problem on Linux and everything works as expected.
The issue and question is why does Quartus 18.x and 20.x Nios II Eclipse Tools have issues on Linux? Why does Eclipse have issues loading the .sopc file in both wizards of creating a templete design and creating a bsp, I can create the app no problem for Nios II but get stuck on creating the BSP, where upon loading .sopc I get stuck in an infinite loop. This only happens on Linux, I cannot recreate these issues in Windows.
