Description
Due to a problem in the Quartus® II software version, you may see the Design Space Explorer II options for remote compile and exploration are greyed out. This problem occurs when the tool tries to write to a read only location.
Resolution
To work around this problem, set the following environment variable to prevent the tool from writing to this location.
For Linux:
export PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1For Windows:
set PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1
This problem is scheduled to be fixed in a future release of the Quartus II software.
