FIFOED UART in QSYS

[Altera_Forum]

I am using qsys version 13.0 sp1 for building a design. My target device is Cyclone V.  

There is a FIFOED_UART module intergarted in my design. When I press generate I see this error:  generatin callback did not provide a top level file .... I have done some reaserch and found similar error for NIOS II that should be ignored! I am not sure why I give this error for uart? Do you guys have any idea?

I'm having the same problem on Ubuntu Linux 14.04 with QSys 13.1 and the FIFOED avalon uart failing to generate. The same project generates/compiles fine on a Windows Quartus II/QSys 13.1 installation on the same computer. Was there a resolution for this?
