[Altera_Forum]

Hi all 

I have a problem whlile using quartus2 web edition 10.0 and SOPCbuilder in Windows7 (64bit). Adding the CVI appears a set of errors, like   --- Quote Start ---   Error: set ALTERA_HW_TCL_KEEP_TEMP_FILES=1 to retain temp files Error: Command: c:/altera/10.0/quartus//bin/quartus_sh.exe -t C:/Users/hp/AppData/Local/Temp/alt4824_8295765401181654092.dir/0002_sopcqmap/not_a_project_setup.tcl Error: Command: c:/altera/10.0/quartus//bin/quartus_map.exe not_a_project --generate_hdl_interface=C:/altera/10.0/ip/altera/clocked_video_input/src_hdl/alt_vipcti100_Vid2IS.v --set=HDL_INTERFACE_OUTPUT_PATH=C:/Users/hp/AppData/Local/Temp/alt4824_8295765401181654092.dir/0002_sopcqmap/   --- Quote End ---    I've set ALTERA_HW_TCL_KEEP_TEMP_FILES=1 as environment variable but still i don't get any result. Could anybody help me please?

are you running Quartus as admin? this seems to be an issue with the VIP Suite (check MegaCore errata)

Hello 

thanks for your reply. Yes, I ran it as admin, but still I had the same problem.  I noticed it happens only when I use CVI or CVO from VIP, other megafunctions does not seem to be affected (but I did no try to generate the sopc file). Is there any possible solution or workaround? at first, thought it is due to the 64 bit system instead of using a 32. I am working on video data paths so I need to use VIP suite.  Maybe I should install quartus 9.1 sp2 instead quartus 2 10.0? or virtualizing on another OS? Any hint would be precious. Thanks for your help Best Regards Phate.

is it when you actually add the CVI or CVO to the SOPC system, or during generation?

[Altera_Forum]

the error appears when I add the CVI/CVO.

i'm not seeing that here on a Win7-64 machine, QII 10.0 Subscription Edition 

 next thing to suspect is an installation issue maybe?

Perhaps you need to install Stratix II support (even if you aren't using Stratix II) as discussed in some other recent threads (http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24376)?

Well done, it's my fault.  

I didn't think that the error was related only to the CVI/CVO, i thought that was an SOPC builder generic error. Today I'll install STRATIX device support and I'll see if the bugs disappear. I'am a little bit sorry that I have to install stratix support in order to use some of the VIP ips on other devices... Thanks a lot everyone for your help and hints, I'll let you know. Best regards Phate.

/bin/sh has to point to the bash. This solved my problem.
