SOPC-Builder crashes

Hi,

when i click the "Import"-Button on the NIOS II - Processor - Custom-Instructions page my SOPC-Builder hangs up. The Button appears pressed, nothing happens and i have to shutdown the SOPC-Builder via Task-Manager.

My OS is Windows Vista and i am using QII 10.0 SP1.

Is this a known problem? Has anyone an idea?

Regards

Paddy

    Yes, I am also experiencing the same problem. I am also running 10sp1 (yet I had the same problem in 10). I've tried endless permutations trying to resolve this, and no matter what I do, as soon as I click on "Import..." on the Custom Instruction page, SOPC Builder hangs. The only "fix" is to kill the SOPC Builder process. Some things I've tried:

    - both the Linux version and PC version of Quartus10sp1

    - all three NIOS2 processor cores.

    - tried a clean new project (no spaces in the directory tree)

    - tried Altera-provided sample projects

    This is most frustrating, and would welcome suggestions.

    Thank you,

    Peter

    I recommend creating your custom instructions using component editor directly and then connect it to the CPU.
