Error when starting SignalTap from MATLAB

[Altera_Forum]

The code: 

addpath(genpath('C:\altera\11.1\quartus\bin64')); alt_signaltap_run   Error appear when run alt_signaltap_run. At next, Matlab crashes. Q11.1sp2, Matlab 7.12.0 (R2011A), Win7x64 installed.  --------------------------- Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library --------------------------- Assertion failed! Program: ... File: d:/SJ/nightly/11.1/173/w64/p4/qu.../mex_si...ain.cpp Line: 142 Expression: ver_handle For information on how your program can cause an assertion failure, see the Visual C++ documentation on asserts (Press Retry to debug the application - JIT must be enabled) --------------------------- Abort Retry Skip ---------------------------   Why? How to fix it?

You need to add the Quartus bin directory to your system path. 

 You can either do this by right-clicking on My Computer and selecting Properties, Advanced and then Environment Variables. Then modify the variable PATH to add C:\altera\11.1\quartus\bin64; to the beginning.  Alternatively type the following in MATLAB first:  setenv('path', ['C:\altera\11.1\quartus\bin64;' getenv('path')])

Have you tried the fix I suggested earlier in this thread?

the same problem accurs to me, have you solved this problem? I'm using Quartus II 14.1 and Matlab 2016b. Best Regards

I don't think that is a bug in MATLAB. It's caused by the Altera signal tap mex function and the error message is identical to the message previously reported in this thread which is due to Quartus paths not being present in the PATH variable.

[Altera_Forum]

I don't think so.I am sure i have add Quartus paths to the PATH variable,but it dose not work! By the way,I use xp(sp30) os

[Altera_Forum]

You need to make absolutely sure. 

 "getenv PATH" is the way to find out. If the string it returns doesn't contain "C:\altera\11.1\quartus\bin64" then it won't work.

Matlab 2017a. Quartus Lite.   Lifesaver!  I'm curious as to why this is? Does the mex file look for binaries on the path?  Bookmarked.

Hi all,

I get the same problem, though I added C:\intelFPGA\19.1\quartus\bin64 to System Environment Variables.

I am using Windows 10, Quartus 19.1 and Matlab R2020b.

I am grateful for any help!
