HelloWorld - compiler error, not able to generate hardware

The "quartus_sh_compile.log" is actually inside the folder you uploaded. The final error message is the same as the one you posted earlier, but I found this in the log:

Critical Warning (138067): Current license file does not support incremental compilation. The Quartus Prime software removes all the user-specified design partitions in the design automatically.

I am not sure if this problem is actually from your license or Quartus Prime Lite. the feature comparison table on altera's website (https://www.altera.com/products/design-software/fpga-design/quartus-prime/download.html) claims that only Quartus Prime Pro supports "Incremental Optimization", but you certainly shouldn't need the pro version for your board. My recommendation is installing Quartus Prime Standard v16.0.2 (not v16.1.2) for maximum compatibility with your BSP and trying again. If you still faced the same error, contact Altera or Terasic directly.
