Honored ContributorFIFOed altera UART won't build with Qsys from Quartus 14.0
The FIFOed UART from
http://www.alterawiki.com/wiki/fifoed_avalon_uart Won't allow Qsys to generate the system. It gets the error: --- Quote Start --- Info: fifoed_tbus_485: Starting FIFOed UART Generation Info: fifoed_tbus_485: exec perl -I . -I C:/altera/14.0/quartus/sopc_builder/bin/ -I C:/altera/14.0/quartus/sopc_builder/bin//europa/ -I C:/altera/14.0/quartus/sopc_builder/bin//perl_lib/ mk_em_uart_sa.pl Error: fifoed_tbus_485: couldn't execute "perl": no such file or directory while executing "exec perl -I . -I C:/altera/14.0/quartus/sopc_builder/bin/ -I C:/altera/14.0/quartus/sopc_builder/bin//europa/ -I C:/altera/14.0/quartus/sopc_builder/..." --- Quote End --- Saying it won't run perl.

Altera_ForumI have the same exact problem so a solution or workaround would help.
Also, version 14 does not have the "Run SOPC Builder to Qsys update" feature. Does anyone know the workaround for this?- Altera_Forum
I have abandoned this so I am creating my own FIFO'ed UART with a avalon wrapper based on
the uart in this link (http://academic.csuohio.edu/chu_p/rtl/fpga_vlog.html) Note the sample chapter on the UART. Very handy. - Altera_Forum--- Quote Start --- The FIFOed UART from http://www.alterawiki.com/wiki/fifoed_avalon_uart Won't allow Qsys to generate the system.

Not tried in 14.0 but works in 14.1 HTH B

Thank you for that however I have created our own proprietary FIFO'ed 16550 compatible UART.
I will give that a try out of interest though. - Altera_Forum
baz32767,
I made this change that you suggested and I was able to generate in Quartus 15.0 - Thank you so very much !!!!! Does anyone Know when the next release of this IP will be to work with Quartus 15.0 without having to make this change ????
