Hi DLiu5 ,

Apologies was out of office, so basically factory team for HPS and NIOS have gotten back to me on this , the script is not used for both HPS and NIOS generation in later releases. The script is part of Platform Designer in Quartus component thus they are not able to advise on the workaround or provide any plans to change the script.
 

Additional comment for Nios side, for Nios V system.h generation, it is best to use niosv-bsp or BSP Editor, rather than using sopc-create-header-file as Nios V team didn't validate this sopc-create-header-file with Nios V.

As for the PATH issue , the current Nios V Shell didn't link to sopc_builder/bin.

Thanks
