    are you running Quartus as admin? this seems to be an issue with the VIP Suite (check MegaCore errata)

    Hello

    thanks for your reply.

    Yes, I ran it as admin, but still I had the same problem.

    I noticed it happens only when I use CVI or CVO from VIP, other megafunctions does not seem to be affected (but I did no try to generate the sopc file).

    Is there any possible solution or workaround?

    at first, thought it is due to the 64 bit system instead of using a 32.

    I am working on video data paths so I need to use VIP suite.

    Maybe I should install quartus 9.1 sp2 instead quartus 2 10.0? or virtualizing on another OS?

    Any hint would be precious.

    Thanks for your help

    Best Regards

    Phate.

    is it when you actually add the CVI or CVO to the SOPC system, or during generation?

    i'm not seeing that here on a Win7-64 machine, QII 10.0 Subscription Edition

    next thing to suspect is an installation issue maybe?

    Well done, it's my fault.

    I didn't think that the error was related only to the CVI/CVO, i thought that was an SOPC builder generic error.

    Today I'll install STRATIX device support and I'll see if the bugs disappear.

    I'am a little bit sorry that I have to install stratix support in order to use some of the VIP ips on other devices...

    Thanks a lot everyone for your help and hints, I'll let you know.

    Best regards

    Phate.

    Perhaps you need to install Stratix II support (even if you aren't using Stratix II) as discussed in some other recent threads (http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24376)?

    good thinking, i expected an error mentioning STRATIX but that's probably below the first one which matches the screen shot from your link

    Hey, I run on Ubuntu 10.10.

    I use the paid quartus II toolchain 10.1sp1.

    I installed all devices.

    I installed quartus, nios-ide and modelsim

    Thats my sopc builder prob:

    Error: set ALTERA_HW_TCL_KEEP_TEMP_FILES=1 to retain temp files

    Error: Command: /opt/altera/10.1/quartus/bin/quartus_sh -t /tmp/alt5070_6587957599808173728.dir/0006_sopcqmap/not_a_project_setup.tcl

    Error: export: 137: 2000.00: bad variable name

    Error: Command took 0.039s

    What can I do? I am really desperate.
