Occasional ContributorAnother sld_hub error
New ContributorI am getting exactly the same error, No matter what I try. I use quartus web 15.0, so not a licensing issue. Aakkü, have you solved the problem, what do you suggest? Is trying to solve this error a waste of time? Obviously I wont downgrade my windows 10 just for Quartus.
aakküThere doesn't seeem to be any solution. I believe it's waste time to try to solve the issue or ask for help in the forums, DO NOT TRY I almost gone mad. If you definitely need signal tap or NIOS microproccessor you are out of luck. The only help that you can find here is them saying " can you reinstall the tool" which obviously doesn't solve anything.

Tried on my win10 may 2019 pc with Quartus Pro Lite 16.0, Haha the same error. I even tried enabling SignalTap II wit a .stp file, disabling and enabling SignalTap II, NO F LUCK. I suppose it will not work on Ubuntu too. Seems like Xilinx is better at every scenario haha.

I have installed Ubuntu and then Quartus 19.1 & 16.0. It works. For Quartus 19.1, Nios2 EDS doesn't launch. The installation process was rather hard for me, so I will link those sites which helped me. I recommend dual booting linux and windows if you have space in your drive or if you have multiple drives.

Thats pretty much it. Spent more than a week to get everything working (multiple times on different linux distros). These sites are like they are from heaven.

Oh no! One of the main reasons why I bought an FPGA dev board (DE10 Lite) was to build softcore cpu and mpu's, I was even thinking of designing one! There must be a solution, I mean embedded_guy got it working on win10, I couldn't in win10 and win7. Ill try Ubuntu. I hope it will work.
