Hello,

I have exactly the same problem with cliver41 (the person who started this post). I am using Quartus II 11.0 subscription version and FreeRTOS v7.0.1.

I have followed the instructions in detail but unfortunately it doesn't work. Initially when I try to create a project from "nios ii application and bsp from template" the FreeRTOS demo appears. However, when I select the .sopcinfo file the FreeRTOS demo dissapears.

When I try to create the BSP from the nios ii board support package wizard, I can see the "Real Time Engineers Ltd FreeRTOS 6.0.5" but in the command text box I see the command nios2-bsp ucosii . ../../nios_system.sopcinfo --cpu-name nios2_qsys which obviously links to MicroC/OSII another RTOS.

Does anybody solved this problem? Some help from someone who found a solution to this problem will be extremely helpful. The solution from gwhite seems to be correct but I didn't manage to make it work.
