Unable to generate hps_isw_handoff folder

[Altera_Forum]

Hi, 

 I am not sure if anybody has faced the same problem as I.  I am on Quartus II version 13.0 sp1 and I found that after generating my soc system in Qsys, there is no hps_isw_handoff folder being generated.  It used to be automatically generated in Quartus II ver 13.0.  Did I miss out any steps? Thanks in advance.

Hi, Dear wala, 

I think you need compile you project in Quartus II IDE. Or you can use the command "make sof" in command shell

Hi, 

 I changed the SoC device to a ES part and as a result I can now see the hps_isw_handoff folder after the full compilation. I think choosing a non ES part will not run the assembler in Quartus II (not supported yet in software) and as a result no hps_isw_handoff folder are being generated.  Thanks.

My design uses the Soc device 5CSXFC2C6U23C8 which contains the HPS. After full compilation, it also can't generate the hps_isw_handoff. Why does it occur? who can help me ? If I use the ghrd example, everything is OK.
