Failed to create DisplayPort IP Core Example Design under Windows
Dear Support Community,
I am using Intel Quartus under MS Windows and I want to use the Intel DisplayPort IP Core for Cyclone V FPGA.
As a start, I want to create the example design. To configure this, just before creating the core, the example design can be selected with a checkbox to be generated. The example design is then located under a directory "cv" below the DP IP core directory including readme.txt.
The example design has to be created using the NIOS shell and by executing the script runall.tcl, which fails.
I checked Nios shell and also Windows WSL (version 1) correctly installed. Also PATH variable is correctly set to the Quartus binaries.
First I noticed that I had to patch all filenames of Quartus binaries in the script with additional ".exe."
But I still have the error, that calling "build_ip.tcl fails executing quartus.sh and returns
Info: Command: quartus_sh -t build_ip.tcl
Der Befehl "rm" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder
konnte nicht gefunden werden.
------------------------------------------------
while executing
"qexec "rm -rf clkrec""
(file "build_ip.tcl" line 28)
------------------------------------------------
Error (23031): Evaluation of Tcl script build_ip.tcl unsuccessful
Error: Quartus Prime Shell was unsuccessful. 1 error, 0 warnings
Error: Peak virtual memory: 4630 megabytes
Error: Processing ended: Mon Jan 20 17:03:34 2025
Error: Elapsed time: 00:00:00
Error: Total CPU time (on all processors): 00:00:00
This is strange, because quartus_sh.exe is a shell and should have the internal tcl commands and linux commands available.
I tested different Quartus versions, 17, 19, 21 etc. alle the same
--> How do I generate the DP-IP Example design under Windows?
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi spte,
Thank you for the updates. My apologies for the delayed response, I was out of the office.
Yes, please upgrade the IP core when using the newer Quartus version after generating the design example in the older Quartus version (18.1). It should work properly.
Please let me know if there are any issues with upgrading the IP cores in the design example.
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Ven
