HAL API for the Generic Serial Flash Interface FPGA IP, 'altera_safeclib'

[meenalkb]

In the user guide for the Generic Serial Flash Interface (GSFI) it says "altera_safeclib" must be enabled in the BSP editor to use the HAL API for this device.

With a Quartus 21.1 install and the accompanying NIOS II Software Build Tools for Eclipse I've searched through the BSP Editor UI and can't this setting at all. Also, when I generate the Eclipse BSP from my sopcinfo file, there are no HAL driver files generated for the GSFI.

Does anyone know how I can enable HAL support for this IP?

Also please un-mark as solved.

hi

please share BSP editor version details, platform design screen shot and I am sharing the screen shot of that.

It was the same problem as what I described (community.intel.com/t5/Nios-II-Embedded-Design-Suite/HAL-API-for-the-Generic-Serial-Flash-Interface-FPGA-IP-altera/m-p/1393376#M51250). Can we arrange a call to discuss?

Hello

Any updates with this issue?

I also have exactly the same problem.

Is it maybe because I am using Quartus Prime 21.1.0 Standard (and not a PRO) edition?

Thank you

Alex
