bsp-editor warning 13.0sp1

[Altera_Forum]

I am trying to create the preloader using the instructions taught in the "Developing Software for an ARM based SoC FPGA" exercise manual (Exercise 1a). After running the Embedded_Command_Shell.bat, type in the bsp-editor command an get the following message: 

 $ bsp-editor Aug 27, 2013 3:28:08 PM java.util.prefs.WindowsPreferences <init> WARNING: Could not open/create prefs root node Software\JavaSoft\Prefs at root 0 x80000002. Windows RegCreateKeyEx(...) returned error code 5.  The bsp-editor window does open and I am able to generate the preloader source files, but after I exit the bsp-editor, and do the make command, the build fails with the following error messages:   sdram.c:1043:4: error: '$' undeclared (first use in this function) sdram.c:1043:4: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in sdram.c:1043:4: error: expected ')' before '{' token sdram.c:1049:4: error: expected ')' before '{' token sdram.c:1068:11: error: expected ')' before '{' token sdram.c:1070:11: error: expected ')' before '{' token sdram.c:1072:11: error: expected ')' before '{' token /cygdrive/f/altera_trn/Developing_Software_For_ARM_SoC/Labs/software/Lab1a-Prelo ader/uboot-socfpga/config.mk:331: recipe for target `/cygdrive/f/altera_trn/Deve loping_Software_For_ARM_SoC/Labs/software/Lab1a-Preloader/uboot-socfpga/spl/arch /arm/cpu/armv7/socfpga/sdram.o' failed make[3]: *** [/cygdrive/f/altera_trn/Developing_Software_For_ARM_SoC/Labs/softwa re/Lab1a-Preloader/uboot-socfpga/spl/arch/arm/cpu/armv7/socfpga/sdram.o] Error 1  make[3]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/f/altera_trn/Developing_Software_For_ARM_S oC/Labs/software/Lab1a-Preloader/uboot-socfpga/arch/arm/cpu/armv7/socfpga' Makefile:158: recipe for target `/cygdrive/f/altera_trn/Developing_Software_For_ ARM_SoC/Labs/software/Lab1a-Preloader/uboot-socfpga/spl/arch/arm/cpu/armv7/socfp ga/libsocfpga.o' failed make[2]: *** [/cygdrive/f/altera_trn/Developing_Software_For_ARM_SoC/Labs/softwa re/Lab1a-Preloader/uboot-socfpga/spl/arch/arm/cpu/armv7/socfpga/libsocfpga.o] Er ror 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/f/altera_trn/Developing_Software_For_ARM_S oC/Labs/software/Lab1a-Preloader/uboot-socfpga/spl' Makefile:565: recipe for target `spl/u-boot-spl.bin' failed make[1]: *** [spl/u-boot-spl.bin] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/f/altera_trn/Developing_Software_For_ARM_S oC/Labs/software/Lab1a-Preloader/uboot-socfpga' make: *** [uboot-socfpga/spl/u-boot-spl.bin] Error 2   Does anyone know what may be the problem?

The project compiled with Quartus 13.0, but not with 13.0sp1.  Any help is appreciated.  Regards, Lars

Ok no magic; did a "make clean" first, then "make" succeeds.

Thank you Lars!

Lars, I spoke too soon. The "make clean" was not my problem, but it was something simple. The original design was done in 13.0. Since I'm using the newer 13.0sp1, I had to regenerate and recompile the design in qsys and quartus. Probably the isw_handoff files generated in 13.0 are not compatible with 13.0sp1. I also found out that rerunning the sdram pin assignments script is not a good idea. After I did this, the quartus compilation would generate strange errors. I'm sure rerunning the script corrupted the .qsf settings file.

tested to confirm that "make clean" doesn't help resolving this .....
