    If anyone else is getting this error, I have figured out the solution.

    You have to set the PATH variable in the SoC EDS command shell

    The bin folder is located in the path: intelFPGA_lite\16.1\quartus\sopc_builder\bin

    you have to add this folder to the PATH environment in the SoC shell

    For example:

    PATH=/cygdrive/C/intelFPGA_lite/16.1/quartus/sopc_builder/bin:$PATH

    You have to change the path to the correct one in your PC ;)

    For linux :

    lauch the Altera embedded script shell

    type : $echo $PATH to display the PATH environment variable.

    To add a path to this variable, use the command :

    export PATH=$PATH:~/intelFPGA_lite/17.1/quartus/sopc_builder/bin

    You need to have Quartus installed in addition of the EDS suite.

    I have the same error.. I'm trying to create the "sopc-create-header-files" with the sopc builder but my efforts have been unsuccessfully. If you have another clue how we can fix it, please tell me... thx..

    Using 16.1 on Windows 10 I was able to run that command using both the SoC and Nios II command prompts. That command is part of Quartus install and you can find the path here: <Quartus install directory>/quartus/sopc_builder/bin/sopc-create-header-files

    Hi, I have located the bin folder in my laptop. However, after I add this folder to the PATH environment, it still does not work. The same error occurs. I am using quartus 15.0 web version and my SoC EDS is 17.0 version. Not sure whether different version of quartus and SoC EDS is causing this problem...
