nios2-bsp-update-settings failed - RuntimeException: Driver not found

Hi

I am trying to run example design from

http://www.nioswiki.com/exampledesigns/nios2udpoffloadexample

If I run using 8.1 it compiles as expected.

But getting following exception while running using NIOS-II 9.1 cmd shell

Re-generated tse megacore function and SOPC file using Quatus 9.1 tools.

Any inputs would be great.

Exception

    Hello gvrajkumar,

    I had the same problem as you (although with 91SP2 on Windows XP).

    I have found a solution in the alteraforum that worked:

    --- Quote Start ---

    I think that this is caused by the driver list is not updated, please try the method as below:

    - Open BSP Editor, go to ‘Tools’ -> ‘Options’

    - Click at ‘Custom Component Search Paths…’, click at ‘Add…’ button, and add the SGDMA path, click at ‘OK’ button.

    - Go to ‘File’ -> select ‘New BSP Settings File’ to open the ‘New BSP Settings File’ window

    - At ‘Software’ part, click at ‘…’ to select the path of ‘BSP Settings File name’

    - At ‘Hardware’ part, click at ‘…’ to select the path of your .sopcinfo file and ‘Convert SOPC Information File Path’ menu pop up, select ‘Yes’

    - Click at ‘OK’ button. Please see attachment for screenshot/ example.

    - The new BSP settings file will regenerate.

    If the above method cannot help, please be suggested to upgrade the SOPC component in order to get synchronize the drivers with the components. I have upgrading my project which build in version 8.0 and upgrade the project by re-generate the SOPC Builder project, then recompile the Quartus II project.

    I used the .sopcinfo file and create a project in Nios II and the driver is appearing in the list. Please see attachment.

    How do I run my application to the Nios II target FPGA device (USB-Blaster [USB-0])? What directory you are referring to the path of SGDMA?

    Hi Leonardocs,

    I think you need to install the Arrow USB-Blaster. I also skipped the first pages and got stuck when I couldn't find the Arrow USB-Blaster.

    Double click the \BeMicro\programmer\setup.exe. When the "Save As"-Dialog opens, save it in the directory \Altera\ (where your Quartus is installed).

    Here is another description:

    --- Quote Start ---

    1.5 install the arrow usb-blaster quartus ii programmer plug-in

    In addition to installing the drivers, you will also need to execute a setup program found in your BeMicro

    installation directory under “<install directory>\programmer\setup.exe”. You need administrator rights in

    order to run this setup program. This will install a DLL plug-in to the Quartus Programmer and register

    the Arrow USB-Blaster as programming hardware available

    to Quartus.

    The installation will ask where to store these files. Since the

    programmer hardware DLL can be used with different

    release versions of Altera Quartus, you will need to store

    the DLL in the Altera root program folder, typically

    C:/altera. This is the location where several folders for

    different release versions of Altera Quartus might exist.

    It is described in the tutorial:

    Did you mean something else?
