Hi WShep1,

    Hi Patrick77,

    Yes, I was able to get the NIOS II 20.1 to work after a 1.5 month running email dialog with Intel Premire support. However, I am not sure that I can tell you in 7 easy steps all of the steps forwards and backwards that we went through to arrive at it working. The vey best advice that I can give you is if at all possible continue to use 18.1 until such time as Intel gets their act together and makes the NIOS II software work. It was after 18.1 that Intel switched over to using WSL/Ubuntu with the NIOS II software and this is when all of the problems began. If you are not able to use 18.1 for whatever reason must use 20.1, then I suggest trying to tap into Intel Premire Support. While I don't have direct access to Intel Premire Support, I was able to tap into them via my local (Arizona) Arrow Intel FAE. If the above doesn't work for you, I can send you a condensed transcript of my email communications with Intel Premire Support, but be forewarned it is a lot of thrashing around which eventually got it working for me.

    Good Luck,

    Bill Sheppard

      Hi Bill,

      Thanks for your quick response and I really appreciate your advice. When I when back to use version 18.1, most of the problem just disappearred. I don't think I need a Intel Premire Support for now but I hope they can release a more stable version next time.

      Thank you again for your time. Wish you good luck.

      Hello WShep1,

      I am also facing the same issue. But I cannot go back to quartus 18.1. I am currently using 19.2 and it would be helpful if you share the solution or the transcript of your email with Intel premire support also helps.

      Looking forward to your reply.

      Thanks,

      Nikhil N H

        I have created the following document of the steps that I took. There are several assumptions in this document that assume you know how to do certain things like create a xxxx.sopcinfo file. If you have any questions about it, I will try to answer them.

        I have only tested these steps in 20.1 and 20.1.1, but I believe that this is the same problem in 19.2. Let me know if it works for you in 19.2.

        Good Luck
