Nios II IDE Command-Line Tools Hang on Windows

Environment

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

    Critical Issue

    Description

    On Windows systems, the Nios II IDE command-line tools are sometimes unable to locate the project workspace. When this happens, the tools might hang.

    This issue potentially affects the following tools:

    • nios2-create-system-library
    • nios2-create-application-project
    • nios2-build-project
    • nios2-import-project
    • nios2-delete-project
    Resolution

    Explicitly supply the Nios II IDE command-line tools with a workspace location, by means of the -data command-line argument. The syntax of the -data argument is as follows:

    -data <path to workspace>

    The path to the workspace must be absolute, and must not contain whitespace. Aside from these restrictions, any valid file system path can be used for the workspace. The workspace shown in is the default workspace used by the Nios II IDE in version 9.0.

    Providing a Workspace Location
    nios2-create-project -data c:/altera/90/nios2eds/ bin/eclipse/nios2-ide-workspace-9.0 <other arguments>
