Altera_ForumYes it looks like bsp-create-settings is missing the spl type. what do you get when you execute
(with the question mark)? For me it saysbsp-create-settings --type \?
It could be that your environment is not set up correctly. I don't think that setting the PATH is enough, Altera provides a script that sets up the environment for you. I don't remember where it comes from, but on my installation I've copied it to /usr/local/bin. Here are the contents:Available BSP types are:
(just replace _SOCEDS_ROOT with wherever your Quartus version is installed). Has you see it defines a root path for the SOC EDS and executes a script there. This script sets up a bunch of environment variables that are required by some tools. I have never created a preloader configuration from the command line myself though, I've always used the bsp editor (type bsp-editor from your command line)#!/bin/bash # ########################################################### # # # Altera SoC Embedded Command Shell # # # # # # Copyright (c) 2016 Altera Corporation # # All Rights Reserved. # # # # ########################################################### _SOCEDS_ROOT="/usr/local/intelFPGA/16.1/embedded" export SOCEDS_DEST_ROOT="${_SOCEDS_ROOT}" source "${_SOCEDS_ROOT}/env.sh" # ########################################################### unset _SOCEDS_ROOT- Altera_Forum--- Quote Start --- Yes it looks like bsp-create-settings is missing the spl type. what do you get when you execute

So if it is not your environment, could it be that a part of the installation is missing? When you installed Quartus, did you also install the Cyclone V device and the Soc EDS? All the devices are in a separate installation, and so does the Soc EDC if I remember correctly.

Thanks for reply,

But the result is same. --- Quote Start --- When you installed Quartus, did you also install the Cyclone V device and the Soc EDS?

same here. when starting bsp-editor from eds environment, it displays:
