Super ContributorSeems like we have patch for this https://www.intel.com/content/altera-www/global/en_us/index/support/support-resources/knowledge-base/tools/2020/fatal--cannot-generate-ip-in-a-windows-evironment-.html.
The error message reported are similar,
ERROR: Found Error => border: 2019.06.13.20:07:57 Info: p0: "hps_sdram" instantiated altera_mem_if_ddr3_hard_phy_core "p0"

Can you try this patch and let us know the result?
New ContributorHi Kenny,
as you might have seen in my first post from March, 23. I already had installed the mentioned patch 0.02std described in your link.
I tried againg to generate the HPS core and it failed in the same way.:

Super ContributorHi Mirco,
Thanks, can you try the below suggestion? It should be working as we have success story from our side. (running win10 release 1809 build 17763)
- uninstalled Ubuntu 18.04 (If you have)
- uninstalled wsl
- re-installed wsl
- downloaded latest Ubuntu 18.04 from Microsoft Shop & installed it
- executed following on Ubuntu shell :
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install wsl
sudo apt install dos2unix
sudo apt install make
sudo apt-get upgrade

New Contributorhello Kenny,
does this fix work even for 18.1 std? i was told the cygwin problem is only for 19.1 and above. can you please let me know? I am stuck and need to get this going.
New ContributorHi Kenny,
I've tried this and it works great.
To install / activate wls I used this information: https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/windows/wsl/install-win10
I have successfully generated the HPS core and compiled the Quartus Project using Quartus Version 19.1.0 SP0.02std Standard Edition on a Windows 10 OS.
Thank you very much!
Occasional ContributorI am running into the same issue. Curious if the (exactly) six (6) months since the last post were enough to address this error. Using Quartus 20.1 (installed this week) (and didn't dare using AMD CPU - running on Intel Xeon
Thanks - M.
Occasional ContributorHi,
I can confirm that the workaround installing WSL does work.
Perhaps I should have been more patient and try it first but it was yet another hurdle - fighting the whole Saturday with Intel documents with broken links. (If you ask me - the Altera transition was far from being smooth).
It was a bit softer than I thought since I didn't have to install Linux version of Quartus but simple presence of the (Ubuntu 20) makes Quartus behave.
On top of that https://www.intel.com/content/altera-www/global/en_us/index/support/support-resources/knowledge-base/tools/2020/fatal--cannot-generate-ip-in-a-windows-evironment-.html announced this as fixed in February and yet another service pack later it doesn't seem so.
Life goes on.
Thanks - M
