Qsys Generation Directories and the Temp Directory

Description

If you generate your Qsys system without a TMP directory set in your operating system's environment, you may see odd generation directories, for example, sopc_altera_pll1340162363051077 during generation.

Resolution

If you see directories in the format: <IP Core Name><System Time in Milliseconds> in your home directory during Qsys generation, verify that your environment is set up with correct TMP directory locations for your operating system. Otherwise, you must manually remove these directories.
