New ContributorWindows 10 1909 and EDS 18.1 compatibilty
The fix was to reimage the machine with the same Windows 10 version 1909. Previously, only updates had been applied to bring the machine to Windows 10 v1909.
New ContributorAs far as launching bsp-editor is concerned, you can run the Embedded_Command_Shell script (it will still fail with "error 5"). Once you see the Cygwin terminal prompt, and before attempting to launch bsp-editor, you will need to overwrite the path set for QUARTUS_ROOTDIR. As you can see in the picture below, the issue with the value of QUARTUS_ROOTDIR is that the path is as defined for Windows but ought to be defined with respect to the Cygwin shell, i.e. change the beginning of the path from "C:/" to "/cygdrive/c/". In other words, type the following command in the cygwin shell (provided that you took the default installation path for Quartus 18.1 in Windows).
export QUARTUS_ROOTDIR="/cygdrive/c/intelFPGA/18.1/quartus"Now you should be able to launch bsp-editor without errors. To be clear, I understand that this (a) already has a solution, and (b) not a solution to your problem of the GetTempFileName error, but rather a workaround that enables you to continue to use the BSP editor. The point is to provide a workaround for anyone else who is put off by re-imaging their PC in order to use the development tools they need.
New ContributorBTW: if you're looking for a more permanent solution, you can edit the shell script 'env.sh' which can be found under the 'embedded' directory that is level with your quartus root. Change the -m flag to -u in the call to 'cygpath' which will give a unix path instead of a mixed path:
export QUARTUS_ROOTDIR="$(cygpath -m "${_QUARTUS_ROOTDIR}" 2>/dev/null)"
export QUARTUS_ROOTDIR="$(cygpath -u "${_QUARTUS_ROOTDIR}" 2>/dev/null)"snippet of env.sh below for reference
Tim_ScottGreat info - thank you for posting.
