    The following workaround seems to work, it essentially replace Quartus included java engine with Java 8

    ln -s /lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64/jre jre64

    the path to Java 8 jre might be machine specific, mine is at least placed there

mv jre64 jre64_old
ln -s /lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64/jre jre64

after those commands, SBT doesn't start anymore.

    This solves the "free():Invalid pointer" error for the Nios II SBT, but the plataform designer started to have problems with some java classes.

    @Eliath_G_Intel, is there any update about it?

    Thanks,

      I did some more tests and @thore solution solves the free():Invalid pointer problem, but you must use openjdk 8 to get it working.
