Nios II EDS installation issue on Quartus V21.1

[Rainwang]

I have installed the Quartus 21.1 and manually installed the Nios II EDS per document Intel FPGA Software Installation and Licensing, but i can't create new project from template, pls see the attached file for details.

The following solution helped me:

Created a new environment variable in Windows:

Name: WSLENV

Value: SOPC_KIT_NIOS2/p

After restarting Eclipse and Quartus it worked.

Hi,

Looks like the problem is solved by you own.

Do you have any further update or Should I consider that case to be closed?

Thanks

Thank you for your reply.

although i resoved this issue, i don't know why, for example, what's the usage of this environment variable? and from the forum, i found many guys met the same issue as me but with different solutions.

why intel doesn't put all this solution into a document which works as a detailed guideline for EDS installation so that the new comer can run smoothly instead of wasting time.

it took me 5 days to install the nios ii EDS successfully. 

thank you again.

Hi,

So that locations specified in that particular system environment variables will be used for software packages and driver searching. Will reflect your suggestions to internal for further improvement. Thanks for your reminding.

Thanks
