Environment

  • Quartus® II Subscription Edition
    • BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
    Description

    You will receive the following errors when creating a BSP project using Nios ® II Eclipse with Quartus® II software version 14.0.

    1. “Failed to execute: ./ create-this-bsp –cpu-name cpu –no-make”

    2. SEVERE: File not found "C:\altera\14.0\ip\altera\”Name of MegaCore”\..\..\component_sw\ Name of MegaCore.hpp” 

    This problem will occur if your design contains any of the following MegaCore® functions:
    1. Frame Reader
    2. Clock video input
    3. Clock video output

    5. Switch
    Resolution

    To work around this problem, please remove the following 5 plugin sections in the file "<quartus_install_path>/ip/altera/altera_components.ipx", and then refresh and regenerate the Qsys® system.
