    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

Hi spte,


Thank you for the updates.


There are some suggestions to try:

1. Could you try using the latest version of Quartus Standard Edition v23.1.1 on Windows?

2. Please refer to the KDB below on procedures to install the WSL.

KDB: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/programmable/articles/000074066.html

3. What is the Windows version used? Check and ensure that the version build meets these. It is recommended to use:

— Windows* 10 build version 16215.0 or higher

— Windows* 11 build version 22000.1219 or higher

4. Make sure the Nios II Command Shell is working properly. For instance, it should be able to run eclipse-nios2.exe without issues.

5. Could you try switching to a different machine to generate the DP Example Design?


Thanks.

Best Regards,

Ven

Dear Ven,

thanks for your hints, the following information you requested:

  • Test with Quartus Std 23.1 the same symptom: the run-script of the example design fails with the above error message
  • WSL versin: Ubuntu Running 1
  • Windows Version: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19045.5371]
  • Eclipse is correctly installed, eclipse is starting, asks for workspace, then ok, no problem

For me, is seems the old DP example design requires Cygwin to run, which is not delivered with Quartus starting 19.1.

What I'm asking is if there is a new version of the DisplayPort example design available - or - if I just should generate the design using Quartus 18.1 and then upgrade the core with my newer Quartus version? Will this be ok?
