NIOS-V Shell: qsys-generate not found

Hello,

 

we are using makefiles to build our Quartus & QSYS projects. Since we switched from NIOS-II shell to NIOS-V shell, I realized that qsys-generate is no longer accesible.

The command "qsys-generate.exe" is either misspelled or was not found.

Other quartus commandline tools remain available in NIOS-V Shell:

  • quartus_sh/quartus_sh.exe
  • quartus_fit/quartus_fit.exe

The command qsys-generate.exe does exist, it is simple not added to the path in NIOS-V shell. 

What is the correct way to invoke qsys-generate.exe from within NIOS-V shell?

 

best regards

Fabian

    set PATH=%PATH%;C:\altera\25.1std\quartus\sopc_builder\bin

    Then you can run the command qsys-generate.exe

    Ah, sorry should have mentioned the version. Im using Quartus 25.1 Standard

    With the Quartus Pro versions 25.x the qsys-generate.exe is in the path of the nios-V shell.

        Thanks, that solved the issue.

         

        Would be good, if the Quartus standard version would also have set the complete paths setup as the Pro version. IMHO there is no reason to have different setups for Standard & Pro
