Qsys (Platform Designer) seq: add_fileset_file: No such file .. hps_AC_ROM.hex

I'm regenerating a hps system with the Platform Designer and receive a couple of errors during execution of script generate_hps_sdram.tcl

Error: border: Error during execution of script generate_hps_sdram.tcl: seq: Error during execution of "{C:/intelfpga/19.1/quartus/../nios2eds/Nios II Command Shell.bat} make all 2>> stderr.txt": child process exited abnormally
Error: border: Error during execution of script generate_hps_sdram.tcl: seq: Execution of command "{C:/intelfpga/19.1/quartus/../nios2eds/Nios II Command Shell.bat} make all 2>> stderr.txt" failed
Error: border: Error during execution of script generate_hps_sdram.tcl: seq: child process exited abnormally
Error: border: Error during execution of script generate_hps_sdram.tcl: seq: add_fileset_file: No such file C:/Users/__nnn__/AppData/Local/Temp/alt8344_7417580866586908393.dir/0004_seq_gen/hps_AC_ROM.hex
Error: border: Error during execution of script generate_hps_sdram.tcl: Generation stopped, 3 or more modules remaining
Error: border: Execution of script generate_hps_sdram.tcl failed

I am using Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.720]

Quartus installation: LAST_QUARTUS_VERSION "19.1.0 SP0.02std Standard Edition"

I found literally the same error description here:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/support/support-resources/knowledge-base/tools/2018/error--border--error-during-execution-of-script-generatehpssdram.html

But the work around ist not useable because this is for Linux Operating Systems only. It shouldn't appear on a Windows machine...

Does anyone have had the same problem or maybe has a solution?

Sincerely yours,

Mirco

    Hi I am having the same error and do not have access to a linux computer, can you generate this system for me as well?

    Thanks

    Can you try out this solution?

    1) https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/support/support-resources/knowledge-base/emif/2018/error--s0--error-during-execution-of---quartus-installation--nio.html

    Or

    2)

    Go to check the jtagserver.exe (same path as in the generate log) whether it is enabled in the firewall for all network types, see below:

    jtagserver firewall

    You may have to click on the 'Change settings' button with a shield icon on it before the firewall rules are editable - they are locked against being changed by software.

    You might need to have the admin to do this.

    Thanks,

    Hello Kenny T.

    Can we have any update from you? When will we be able to generate a HPS using SDRAM with an Quartus Version greater than 18.1.1 Build 646 04/11/2019 SJ Standard Edition? Till this Version a HPS compilation was working, even running this great Windows 10 (Version 10.0.18363.720).

    The jtagserver does not matter because it is the same on both versions installed parallel on this system. And the Windows Subsystem for Linux is deactivated. So please get us a solution!

    Thanks.

    I have successfully compiled Qsys using a linux system, sending code to get compiled by someone else is obviously ridiculous. I know this is not ideal but had to find a workaround.

    Seems 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"

    ERROR: Found Error => border: invoked from within

    ERROR: Found Error => border: "_error "Cannot locate the Nios II Command Shell. Nios II SBT must be installed to generate UniPHY IP cores.""

    Can you try this patch and let us know the result?

      Hi 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.:

    Further investigation, if the patch above does not work. You may use the workaround mention below:

    - 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

    I have a similar issue with 20.1. I'm trying to build a project which builds fine in 18.1, at the Qsys generation stage I get the following errors:

    Error: border: Error during execution of script generate_hps_sdram.tcl: seq: Error during execution of "{C:/intelfpga/20.1/quartus/../nios2eds/Nios II Command Shell.bat} make all 2>> stderr.txt": child process exited abnormally

    Error: border: Error during execution of script generate_hps_sdram.tcl: Generation stopped, 3 or more modules remaining

    Error: border: Execution of script generate_hps_sdram.tcl failed

    I have ensured the TEMP variables are defined as local, on the C drive. Not sure why it has JONATH~1 in the path.

    I am on Windows 10.0.18362
