3.2.1.2.1. Error and Description

Since Quartus_1 SOPCINFO is preserved, it is unlikely to encounter related issues due to using the Quartus_2 SOPCINFO file in Nios® II Software Build Tools.
Note: Quartus_2 does not generate Quartus_2 SOPCINFO because the software does not perform Generate HDL.
Level Two Title
