Hi! 

I've got custom make file. I want to disable some HAL drivers and use my driver implementation. I've tried this command nios2-bsp hal $(BSP_FILE) $(SOPC_FILE) --cmd set_driver none uart 

Unfortunately it removes altera_avalon_uart_regs.h from bsp project.

If you want that file generated, you will need to create the uart drivers. You can write your software to not use the uart driver and it will not be included in the build. Alternately, you could copy it from your Quartus installation directory: C:\altera_lite\15.1\ip\altera\sopc_builder_ip\altera_avalon_uart\inc on my computer

Thank you for you reply. Yes I know about that. But I'm looking for more portable way.

The altera software is assuming that if you don't need the driver you aren't using the device. You have your choice. Neither is portable, that's the way it is sometimes.
