Hello,

I tried the SP1 for Quartus 11.0 and the problem was partially solved.

When I try to create a new project through the "NIOS II application and BSP from templates" the FreeRTOS_Demo still dissapear when I select the .sopcinfo file.

This problem seems not to be solved with the SP1.

However, when I try to create a new BSP from the "NIOS II Board Support Package" the problem I had before, is solved with the SP1. Here when I select the .sopcinfo file, in the command box I can see: nios2-bsp freertos . ../../nios_system.sopcinfo --cpu-name nios2_qsys which is correct. Without the SP1 it was nios2-bsp ucosii . ../../nios_system.sopcinfo --cpu-name nios2_qsys which was obviously wrong.

Even in this way it is possible for someone to create a FreeRTOS project. However I have to admit that the design template provided seems not to be working directly. Possibly needs some modifications.

If someone had it working properly, it would be nice to provide some info about it. It would be really helpfull.
