Why does Nios® V processor design example script returns error "riscv-none-embed-objcopy: command not found"?

Description

Due to a problem in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 22.2 and RiscFree* IDE for Intel® FPGAs, this error might be seen when running the Nios® V processor design example script.

This is because the script is not using the RISC-V GNU Compiler Toolchain provided in the RiscFree* IDE for Intel® FPGAs.

Resolution

To work around this error in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 22.2 and RiscFree* IDE for Intel® FPGAs, do the following:

• Change the command "riscv-none-embed-objcopy" to "riscv32-unknown-elf-objcopy"

This problem is currently being fixed in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 22.3.
