Dear Sir,

Thanks for the reply.

 How can I fix this first?

terasic@DESKTOP-G0MQNOG:/mnt/c/altera_pro/25.1.1/quartus/sopc_builder/bin$ sopc-create-header-files /mnt/c/my_de25_nano_workplace/my_first_qsys_system/qsys_top/qsys_top.sopcinfo --output-dir pd_headers

Failed writing output file to /tmp/sopc-create-header-files.38.tmp.swinfo sopc-

create-header-files: sopcinfo2swinfo.exe --input=c:/my_de25_nano_workplace/my_first_qsys_system/qsys_top/qsys_top.sopcinfo --output=/tmp/sopc-create-header-files.38.tmp.swinfo failed

Did you really test the sopc-create-header-files in the Windows  WSL?  As I usually meet different errors or failure.

Thanks,

Doreen

Apologies, I wasn't actually testing it using a windows installed Quartus version. I was using a Linux Quartus 25.3.1 installation which I was remoting into from windows using SSH, so my advice may not be accurate for the windows version. I don't have a windows installation to test this on (I am a community member not support)

Someone else ran into a similar issue here with the failing to write to that tmp file, maybe take a look on that thread? Looks like it could be related to file permissions issues to that tmp folder

    Thanks for your reply! I did read the link:sopc-create-header-files: Failed writing output file to /tmp/sopc-create-header-files.206.tmp.swinfo | Altera Community - 275326 , and I tried, but it still report the same failed result:

    Failed writing output file to /sopc-create-header-files.38.tmp.swinfo sopc-

    create-header-files: sopcinfo2swinfo.exe --input=c:/my_de25_nano_workplace/my_first_qsys_system/qsys_top/qsys_top.sopcinfo --output=/sopc-create-header-files.38.tmp.swinfo failed

      Hi DLiu5​ 

      Do you know or able to see where this directory located /sopc-create-header-files.38.tmp.swinfo or  /tmp/sopc-create-header-files.38.tmp.swinfo failed?

      I suspect it might be trying to access linux folder in WSL which Windows cannot translate.

      Could you try again using the Nios Shell command prompt (i think this might resolve the directory issue where the script is trying to use linux native folder but windows cannot access) , but as you get command not found, it means that you dont have this path in your environment . Could you try add that inside the nios command shell (eg PATH=/altera_pro/25.1.1/quartus/sopc_builder/bin:$PATH <--make sure directory path is correct) and see whether still got the command not found error?
