I'm trying to follow the NIOS tutorial for the Stratix1S10.
At one point, page 16 of the 'tt_nios_hw_stratix_1s10.pdf'
I should start the SOPC builder. A quick console window opens,
to fast to recognize anything, and vanishes.
There is no error message, nowhere.
There is no SOPCBuilder as it should be according to the pdf.
I browswed the SOPC Builder solutions in the knowledge base.

From this FAQ I could gleam that the SOPC builder has to
be installed. How can I check whether it was installed, and if
not, where is this SOPC Builder to be found ?

I'm using Quartus2 Build 176 02/04/2003 SJ Full Version
plus the SP1

It appears that you have a problem with your installation.

There is no error message, nowhere.

Not even in the message window? View->Utility Windows->Messages if you
don't have it visible.

There should be a directory containing a bin directory which contains
a file called sopc_builder (which is a perl script). I don't know how
Quartus will search for sopc_builder because both under Windows and
Solaris I have multiple revisions of sopc builder and Quartus is using
the most recent one.

You should have received a CD containing the NIOS 3.0 release with
SOPC Builder (version 2.8) and Quartus II.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?
 
To find out where SOPC Builder is:

Run "regedit32" from Start menu/Run.

Look for the Software/Altera/SOPC Builder branch. This will tell you
all of the currently installed versions of SOPC Builder, and also
which one is currently active.

I hope I got the branch right .. I don't have my work PC in front of
me at the moment.

One other thing: Do you also have a separate Cygwin installed? This
can seriously screw things up. I've done this and got the symptoms you
have, and it took awhile to debug.

HTH,

HKCU\Software\Altera Corporation\Quartus II\2.2 has no SOPC section
HKLM\Software\Altera Corporation\SOPC Builder contains

SOPC_Builder_Home REG_SZ: c:\altera\excalibur\SOPC_builder

which is right.

Cygwin ?

HKCU\software\cygnus solutions\cygwin
is mainly empty

HKLM\software\cygnus solutions\cygwin
includes a pointer the Altera directory tree

HKLM\System\controlset001\control\session manager\environment
HKLM\System\controlset002\control\session manager\environment
HKLM\System\currentcontrolset\control\session manager\environment
have a path including the altera cygwin

HKU\..whatever.. \software\cygnus solutions\cygwin
is mainly empty

A file/directory search for cygwin turns up a few more cygwin.dll.
Since I don't need them anymore, I remove them. Nothing changes.
Hmm.

Ah, yes, thanks.
I actually did that at the same time as I
posted here.
There it is running under user firstname/secondname = A/A.
The N-th re-log-on is shorter than the first.
