Hello DWhit11

I had exactly the same problem as you and i solved it.

You may have several versions of Quartus installed on your OS. Remove those you don't need.

Then, add complete path in your script for swinfo2header and all functions (such as sopcinfo2swinfo).

Best Regards,

Hi NBRUN4,

May I ask how did you exactly "add complete path in your script for swinfo2header and all functions" ?

I met the same problem and found your solution, but I don't quite understand it.

    Hi Patrick77

    Permanent solution:

    Go to advanced system settings:

    Click on Environment Variables...:

    And in "System variables" double click "Path" variable:

    And replace the version number in the quortus line (don't forget to change the directory name if youre using a standard quortus version or pro version. Mine is lite):



    Another solution:
    You need to edit file:
    C:\intelFPGA_lite\16.1\quartus\sopc_builder\bin\sopc-create-header-files
    You need to edit lines with swinfo2header and sopcinfo2swinfo.
    Add:
    /cygdrive/c/intelFPGA_lite/16.1/quartus/sopc_builder/bin/
    before swinfo2header and sopcinfo2swinfo.
    It should be something like this:
    /cygdrive/c/intelFPGA_lite/16.1/quartus/sopc_builder/bin/swinfo2header

    /cygdrive/c/intelFPGA_lite/16.1/quartus/sopc_builder/bin/sopcinfo2swinfo

    Good luck
