Hi Rolando,

an unofficial tutorial explains how to import a Nios V project into Riscfree for versions that do not yet offer the automatic import option (https://malt.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/9280647796761-Nios-V-Project-Development-Procedure-Using-Ashling-RiscFree-IDE , part 4.5.1). I was not able to follow this procedure, it may not exactly match the version I am using.

I would use the last version of Riscfree but it seems it has a bug : https://community.intel.com/t5/Nios-V-II-Embedded-Design-Suite/RiscFree-v25-1-1-no-longer-finds-BSP-and-compiler-headers-files/m-p/1676846#M53545 without a clear workaround.

Regards,

Thierry

Hi Thierry

I was able to build your application from Riscfree using the instructions provided in the Macnica application note. I also looked in to the case that reports the issue in Riscfree and I agree that the workaround is not clear. I am asking internally to see if the person who was supporting that case is able to provide the workaround.

Thanks

Rolando
