Change Quartus project IP search path

[Altera_Forum]

Hi, 

 I am trying to add a HLS created IP into the design. For this I am updating the quartus project IP path in platform designer. I am getting the following error.  Error: An unexpected error occurred during Updating Quartus project: java.nio.file.InvalidPathException: Illegal char at index 53: C:/Saumil/HLS/counter/test-fpga.prj/components/count/**/*  Please let me know how to solve this issue.  -Saumil

The 53rd character is an *. Don't use asterisks. Just point to the directory.

Hi, 

 If still facing the problem.  Try by opening HLS count project which will add the path automatically so that no need to set it manually. or 1.If you are using Pro version and want to add the directory manually than point till the "components" under global ip search directory it will take the sub-directory and other files automatically. 2.If you are using Std version and want to add the directory manually than point till the "count" under global ip search directory it will take the sub-directory and other files automatically. https://www.altera.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_us/pdfs/literature/hb/hls/ug-hls.pdf  Let me know if you need any further assistance.  Best Regards, Anand Raj Shankar (This message was posted on behalf of Intel Corporation)

Hi, 

 I opened the HLS created project itself.  I am using the 17.1 pro version and indicated till the components folder.  PS- I copied the HLS created IP manually in the IP folder inside the project folder. This worked and I could see the IP in Platform designer. Wondering why the tutorial mentioned steps won't work.
