Nios® II EDS WSL and Ubuntu versions

[ETang2]

Hello, in the Intel® FPGA Software Installation and Licensing we need to install WSL 1 and Ubuntu 18.04 : https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683472/21-4/installing-windows-subsystem-for-linux.html

WSL 1 is old and Ubuntu 18.04 will no longer be supported in April 2023!

Do you know if this will be upgraded to support WSL 2 and at least Ubuntu 20.04 (22.04 ?)

Thanks

Eric

Hi,

As of today, we have no update regarding the future support to switch to WSL 2 nor Ubuntu 20.04.

We do recommend users to use Linux environment for better future experience.

Hi, thank you for the answer.

Another solution could be to use NIOS V instead of NIOS II. Could NIOS V be implemented on DE10-Lite card ?

Hi, did you try wsl version 1 with Ubuntu 20.04 lts? The Nios II EDS runs fine at my machine with this Ubuntu version.  I think the new Nios V is only supported by the Quartus Prime Pro version.

Hi, no i did not try. I will test but i use win11 + wsl version 2 ...

About NIOS V, you are right it is only supported by the pro version which is not available for MAX10.

Hi,

We currently have no support for Windows 11 yet, as it is still recommended to use Linux environment..
