Hi


Thanks for debugging the issue further and found the root cause.

That could be due to RiscFree 25.1.1 version is not release officially to download and use.

Where did you download the RiscFree 25.1.1?

In the Intel download website only has RiscFree 24.3.1.


Regards

I have been using the versions specified in the UI of RiscFre which in no way seem to match the Quartus versions they are shipped with.

Where did you download the RiscFree 25.1.1?

This is the version of RiscFree installed when installing Quartus 24.1 through the installer. The actual download file is versioned as "Ashling* RiscFree* IDE for Altera 24.1std.0.1077". However, when you look at the version through the "Help > About" menu it reports the version as:

In the above it works in Quartus Lite 23.1 (i.e. RiscFreeSetup-23.1std.1.993-linux.run) and is broken in Quartus Lite 24.1 (i.e. RiscFreeSetup-24.1std.0.1077-linux.run).

I have also tested with the version of RiscFree shipped with Quartus Pro 24.3.1 (i.e. RiscFreeSetup-24.3.1.102-linux.run) and discovered the exact same problem.
