The BSP Editor unable to edit or create the HPS BSP

Altera_Forum · ‎09-16-2017

Hi, All:

I create a QSys system for my Cyclone V SoC chip, and according to the manual, I need to create the BSP for the chips then I can run my QSys system correctly.

According to the manual, I open the Embedded Command Shell.bat in Administrator, and enter

bsp-editor &

to open the BSP Editor.

But in the BSP Editor, I see the menu File -> New HPS BSP... is gray, I can not click on it.

I try to open a example bsp file in the CD of my development board, the BSP Editor reported several errors, and can not open them.

The errors like:

Available BSP type values for the --type argument are:
BSP type "spl" unknown
NullPointerException

I see that is a error due to the BSP Editor can not find the HPS BSP Informations.

I try to reinstall the software, even install in my virtual machine, but all of them are got same erros.

What's wrong with my approach?

Thank you very much.

Hi All,

I solve this problem by reinstall the Quartus and SoC Suite in a Directory that does NOT CONTAIN SPACES.

Originally I installed it in H:\Quartus XVII\SoC Suite, it doesn't work,

now I install it in H:\Quartus\SoC, it works fine.
