SOPC Builder is replaced how I build my NIOS II project

[Altera_Forum]

Hi, many PDFs I am reading are about SOPC Builder , however it is not found in Quartus ver. 13 , I have completed the "Lights" example steps , but when I download it to the DE2 cyclone II nothing happens. Please Help me.

SOPC Builder is now QSYS (Tools..Qsys). 

NOt sure it helps but one very common mistake is to forget the pin assignments.

Thank you, I tried , the elf file is not generated successfully , I spent many days with that :(

Can you post more details? What step is failing? There is not much we can use to help you. 

You have to build your FPGA project with Qsys + a top in VHDL or VERILOG, upload to fpga. Then create a NIOS workspace with a BSP project and your ELF project.

I think you can straight to those exampe which is starting with QSYS instead. :D
