Unable to make preloader in Windows 10

Description

This issue comes when using the SOC EDS tool to generate the preloader. After creating the new HPS and BSP settings file, the make command is giving a failure:

tar zxf /cygdrive/c/intelFPGA/18.0/embedded/host_tools/altera/preloader/uboot-socfpga.tar.gz

tar: Error opening archive: Failed to open '/cygdrive/c/intelFPGA/18.0/embedded/host_tools/altera/preloader/uboot-socfpga.tar.gz'

make: *** [uboot-socfpga/.untar] Error 1

Resolution

In order to work around this issue, two files need to be modified before executing the make command.

1. C:\<installation_directory>\embedded\ip\altera\preloader\src\Makefile.template

Change the current file with the attached one in this link (make sure to unzip the file before you copy it)

2. C:\<installation_directory>\embedded\host_tools\cygwin\etc\fstabin 

in fstab file: comment this line:

#non /cygdrive cygdrive binary,posix=0,user 0 0

and add this line instead:

none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,posix=0,user,noacl 0 0

This issue is scheduled to be fixed in the future release of  Intel® Quartus® Prime Software.
