Using Windows Generated NIOS Project on Linux

Hi @EricMunYew_C_Intel ,

Thanks for the reply. However, I don't understand how installing stuff on Windows will help me open a project on Linux.

Please re-read my post and note that this issue here is that I am on *Linux* and trying to import a project that was originally created on Linux. I need assistance with *LInux*, not Windows.

The only thing I can get going is creating a Quartus project on v16 and then a NIOS project from the Quartus project. When I go to v18 even creating a new project on Linux does not work. I Cannot get a WIndows created NIOS project to import on any version of Linux.

So in summary:

I am on Linux. Forget Windows, other than some projects were originally created on Windows. I have tried v16, v18 and v21.

What I can do on Linux.

Install Quartus v16, v18 and v21, create and compile a softcore and create .sopcinfo files. I can open Quartus files created on Windows and compile. Quartus works an absolute treat. All versions.

On v16 I can create a new NIOS project in Eclipse, compile and run it on actual hardware.

I cannot import a previously project that was created in Windows in any version whatsoever.

Not a one. I cannot even create a NIOS project in Eclipse from a starting-from-scratch Quartus project on Linux. It just sits there with the blue and red arrows circular icon spinning round and round. There is no feedback at all to tell me why it's struggling.

I think the latter point is possibly a salient one. If we could get some feedback on why it is struggling maybe that would help, but I have no idea how to get that.

Many thanks,

Rob
