Problems building the FPGA image

Post by Jaco »

Greetings,

I'm having trouble building the FPGA image according to the instructions on the wiki.

First of all, to actually get to the NIOS II command shell I ran:

Code: Select all

perl nios2_command_shell.pl

in /altera/14.0/nios2eds/bin/launcher/, since running

Code: Select all

./nios2_command_shell

in the /altera/14.0/nios2eds directory only displays a message

Code: Select all

Altera Nios2 Command Shell [GCC 4]

Version 14.0, Build 200
In the NIOS II command shell I navigate to /bladeRF/hdl/quartus/ and execute

Code: Select all

./build_bladerf.sh -r hosted -s 40
which results in a ton of errors and the build failing altogether. I can post them here if needed, I just first want to make sure if there's anything I did wrong in the build process.

Thanks.

Based upon some comments on IRC, I don't believe that the Quartus 14.0 toolset is supported yet. The firmware currently being built using 13.1. There is a development branch dev-quartus14 but it's just that ... a development branch.

Thanks, I've downloaded 13.1 but the installer isn't working >.< On to 13.0sp1 now...
