.elf.srec not found

[VinayGB]

Quartus 20.1;

Cyclone A7 device

I have created a hello world project from template and BSP project using .sopc file. After creation, project there was a problem with build

nios2-elf-g++.exe: error: missing argument to '-msys-lib='

As per one of the forum queries, this was corrected by changing 

APP_LDFLAGS += -msys-lib=$(call adjust-path-mixed,$(SYS_LIB)) 

to 

APP_LDFLAGS += -msys-lib=hal_bsp

After this modification, build was successful.

When I run/debug the project after setting configurations, following error message is shown

wslpath: /mnt/e/DNRSimulation/Altera_L2_Q20/Altera_L2/PGAD_RX/software/DNR/DNR.elf.srec: No such file or directory
Using cable "USB-Blaster [USB-0]", device 1, instance 0x00
Processor is already paused
Starting target processor
rm: cannot remove '/mnt/e/DNRSimulation/Altera_L2_Q20/Altera_L2/PGAD_RX/software/DNR/DNR.elf.srec': No such file or directory

Before this error, there were many more messages in RED which vanishes before they could be captured. A brief capture of the same is attached.

I must mention that working with Quartus 20.1 and its NIOS2 eclipse tools has been a terrible nightmare facing issues at every stage of development, from installation of software to build and now its extended to debug/run also.

Kindly support in correcting these issues.

Hello Vinay,

I'm going to support your issue.

Can you try to move .srec to another place that WSL is accessible? Also change the path and tell me what happen?

Best regards,

Isaac Vazquez.

.srec file is not found anywhere. How to move a non-existent file ?

With all the frustration, I had uninstalled Quartus20 and installed Quartus 14.1 to continue my work(Making quartus is work is not my paid job, in case intel has forgotten this).

Now just to follow your instructions and try to make it work for one last time before giving up, I have re-installed Quartus 20 following all the procedures.

There was a method which I had used to resolve a new project creation error in eclipse, which I have forgotten.

I am posting that error here. Kindly support in resolving this error first and then we can move to compilation.

<nios2-swexample name="float2_performance" display_name="Float2 Performance">
Float2 Performance compares the performance of floating-point operations using the Floating Point Hardware 2 custom instructions vs. software emulation. After each operation is performed, a table is printed showing the performance of the custom instructions and software emulation.

This code must be compiled with GCC optimization level -O2.

The Floating Point Hardware 2 component is the 2nd generation of floating-point custom instructions for Nios II. It offers improved performance, hardware acceleration of more operations, and reduced resource usage relative to the 1st generation. Results are not fully IEEE 754 compliant due to the implementation of simplified rounding.

The following component must be connected to the Nios II:
- 'Floating Point Hardware 2' component
- 'Performance Counter Unit' component
- Named 'performance_counter_0'

I came across the same problem in Quartus Prime Pro 19.4, while colleagues not. The difference for me
might be I installed WSL2 but have set WSL 1 active.
Workaround: as described added in my Makefile:

# 1. During debug
# -"wslpath: /mnt/d/Project/project.elf.srec: No such file or directory"
# -"rm: cannot remove '/mnt/d/Project/project.elf.srec': No such file or directory"
# -"Reading symbols from D:\Project\project.elf...(no debugging symbols found)...done."
# 2. During build after debug was failed
# -"nios2-elf-objdump.exe --disassemble --syms --all-header --source project.elf >project.objdump"
# -"nios2-elf-objdump.exe: can't disassemble for architecture UNKNOWN!"
#
# When startin a debug session the project.elf.srec is generated this failes, and as a result the content of project.elf is overwritten with the content of this srec file
# Causing the 'no debugging symbols found'/'can't disassemble for architecture UNKNOWN!' (hence the file is essientially a srec file with an .elf extension)
# by manually making an project.elf.srec file this can be overcomed
BUILD_PRE_PROCESS := touch $(ELF).srec

Thank you MViss

It worked in one computer. In another computer, creating new application and template from BSP is failing.

I will create another discussion thread for that.

I have a similar issue. Did you solve the problem?

Yes, the problem got resolved by adding BUILD_PRE_PROCESS := touch $(ELF).srec.

I don't see an application project in the console message. Try creating both new application and bsp project from template and then try to debug/execute.

Below is the console print while executing the project. After BSP build complete, you can see a ".c" file being compiled. Hope it'll help.
