Description The following error message is displayed in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 21.3 and 21.4 when you perform the following tasks: Downloading a Nios® V processor application ELF file into Intel® FPGAs using the niosv-download utility. Generating an OpenOCD configuration file using openocd-cfg-gen utility. INFO: Generating OpenOCD config file. Running "openocd-cfg-gen -c 2 /tmp/niosvm.cfg". Please specify a valid cable ERROR: Failed to generate OpenOCD config file. This error message occurs due to a bug in the openocd-cfg-gen utility, whereby the utility cannot generate the OpenOCD configuration file unless the targeted Intel FPGA is connected to the 1st cable instance. A similar error can be seen when you are using the niosv-download utility because the niosv-download utility also calls out or uses the openocd-cfg-gen utility. You may run the jtagconfig command to display all the connected instances to the host computer. Resolution To work around this problem in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 21.3 and 21.4, follow these steps: Ensure that the targeted Intel FPGA is connected to the 1st cable instance. Disconnect other Intel FPGAs from your host computer through the following methods: Power down the devices Unplug the devices from the host computer Download and install the following patch to fix this error in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 21.3: Intel Quartus Prime Pro Software v21.3 Solution Patch 0.33 for Windows (.exe) Intel Quartus Prime Pro Software v21.3 Solution Patch 0.33 for Linux (.run) Readme for Intel Quartus Prime Pro Software v21.3 Solution Patch 0.33 (.txt) Download and install the following patch to fix this error in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 21.4: Intel Quartus Prime Pro Software v21.4 Solution Patch 0.17 for Windows (.exe) Intel Quartus Prime Pro Software v21.4 Solution Patch 0.17 for Linux (.run) Readme for Intel Quartus Prime Pro Software v21.4 Solution Patch 0.17 (.txt) This problem is fixed starting from Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 22.1.Why is the value of my VERILOG_MACRO QSF assignment incorrect?

Description This problem is observed in Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 21.3 when the command “cmake -G “Unix Makefile” -B software/app/build” is executed to compile the Nios® V processor application for the design example. This is due to missing “-S <path-to-source>“ argument. Without the argument, the cmake command defaults to the current working directory (<project_directory>/intel_niosv_m_0_EXAMPLE_DESIGN) as the source directory. For reader’s information about this design example, the design example is provided with a readme.txt. The readme.txt guides user to create CMakeLists.txt for the design example. The BSP CMakeLists.txt is generated by niosv-bsp command, found in <project_directory>/intel_niosv_m_0_EXAMPLE_DESIGN/software/bsp. The APP CMakeLists.txt is generated by niosv-app command, found in <project_directory>/intel_niosv_m_0_EXAMPLE_DESIGN/software/app. There is no CMakeLists.txt in <project_directory>/intel_niosv_m_0_EXAMPLE_DESIGN. However, the snippet of the cmake command in the readme.txt is missing “-S <path-to-source>“ argument. Thus, this error is produced. Resolution To fix this problem, follow one of the following steps: Execute this command: cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -S software/app/ -B software/app/build The “-S software/app/“ argument adds the CMakeLists.txt path to the source location. OR Change the directory to software/app folder: “cd software/app”. Then, execute the command: make -G "Unix Makefiles" -B build This problem is fixed starting with the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 21.4. The readme.txt is corrected with “cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -S software/app/ -B software/app/build“
