Hi Oliver


Sorry for the late reply.

I am Jingyang and will be helping Eber out in this case.


I have tried generating the BSP from your sopcinfo that you shared and there was no issues.

The environment that i am using is also the same as yours except for the Version of windows.

I am using Windows 10 Enterprise 64 bits.


Was able to generate it without any error seen.


Just to make sure you have installed the plugins correctly :

And also the WSL version is correct :

Right, so after a lot of searching on the web the problem was the wrong version of WSL. Windows really, really, really wants you to use WSL2 and I get the feeling from the MIcrosoft documentation updated in 2023 that the Intel documentation is no longer fully accurate on describing the process in sufficient detail.

Sorted at last by the look of it.
