Issues Building Intel Nios V/g core

[Samuel6]

I have just installed Quartus Pro 24.2, but I am having issues building designs containing Nios V/g.

I downloaded the Arria 10 Nios V/g Design Example, but when I try to build it I get an Error during the Analysis and Synthesis step saying this:

Verilog HDL or VHDL error: cannot open Verilog file 'ip/sys/cpu/intel_niosv_g_unit_220/synth/niosv_opcode_def.sv'

This error is repeated for most of the other files within that folder, specifically it's all the binary/encrypted files where I can't view the source code, but this error doesn't occur for the files which can be viewed in a text editor.

I also downloaded the  Arria 10 Nios V/m Design Example, and that builds without issues, so my problem seems to just relate to the Nios V/g. Does anyone know what could be causing this and what can be done to fix it?

Many Thanks,

Samuel

It sounds like a licensing issue.  You can get a free license through the SSLC, linked from the Nios V page with directions of what you need to get: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/details/fpga/intellectual-property/processors-peripherals/niosv.html

I thought it might be a license issue but I was confused as I have a valid license which I've used to build Nios V/g in Quartus Standard, however I've realised the Flexlm License Daemon we were using was out of date, and updating it to a newer version has resolved my issue.

I'm surprised Quartus doesn't give a warning about this, or even that Quartus opens if I was using an unsupported version, but at least I've fixed it now.

Thank you for your reply,
