How can I use Quartus Pro 25.1 sopc-create-header-files tool to generate a jtag master header file?

Hi DLiu5,

Apologies and thanks for confirming your path is correct. I've tested on my Windows 11 pc with Windows Quartus 25.1.1 and I could observe 2 things

1. Error A:  'sopc-create-header-files' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

or Error B: sopc-create-header-files: command not found

Depending on where the script is called (both in Nios V command shell), either in windows directory or WSL (via bash)

or Error C: Environment variable QUARTUS_ROOTDIR is empty. Do you have Quartus II installed?

Solution: ensure both Path are set correctly

i)QUARTUS_ROOTDIR="C:/altera_pro/25.1.1/quartus" ii)PATH="$QUARTUS_ROOTDIR/sopc_builder/bin:$PATH"

2. 

Error A

Failed writing output file to /sopc-create-header-files.38.tmp.swinfo sopc-

create-header-files: sopcinfo2swinfo.exe --input=c:/my_de25_nano_workplace/my_first_qsys_system/qsys_top/qsys_top.sopcinfo --output=/sopc-create-header-files.38.tmp.swinfo failed

Solution: I suspect this is because the sopc-create-header-files script is using hardcoded /tmp/ folder (as per linux) but in WSL it still following Windows directory formatting. 

Note: I edited the sopc-create-header-files script so that instead of using hardcoded /tmp/ folder, use the current working directory and convert the path into Windows directory format

1)

if [ "${_IS_WSL}" = "1" ]; then

swinfo_tmp_fname="$PWD/${PN}.$$.tmp.swinfo"

fi

2)

if [ "${_IS_WSL}" = "1" ]; then

swinfo_tmp_fname="$(adjust_path_mixed "$swinfo_tmp_fname")"

fi

In my terminal I'm using these commands (I do not have any path set in my windows environment variables so need to export each time terminal is launched)

bash

export QUARTUS_ROOTDIR="/mnt/c/altera_pro/25.1.1/quartus"

export PATH="$QUARTUS_ROOTDIR/sopc_builder/bin:$PATH"

sopc-create-header-files hps_subsys.sopcinfo

I will check with our factory team on this to confirm the solution and also any plans to change the script.

Thanks

Regards

Kian
