Platform Designer fails QDR II elaboration

This behavior began recently with a mature project. During QSys Generation, the process fails while elaborating a QDR II instantiation claiming it can't find "sequencer/sequencer.elf". Here's the err...

    The issue was traced to enabling WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). Apparently WSL interferes with the scripting used to compile the QDR II sequencer code. So, one can either upgrade to a more recent Quartus version or operate without WSL. The effect is reversible, but disabling WSL destroys any installed Linux distributions and Linux files that you've created.

Glad the issue is resolved.

Let me know if there is any other concern on this.

    Hello,

    Unfortunately, this issue has returned. I'm attempting to upgrade some of my projects to Quartus 23.1std, which requires WSL 1 and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS to compile and run NIOS II programs. I know that NIOS II is being phased out in favor of NIOS V, but I'm not there yet. So, I'm again looking for a hot fix that will allow Quartus 23.1std, WSL 1 and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS to be installed while instantiating a QDR component inside QSYS.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
