SoC Embedded Design Suite User Guide Does Not Describe All Required BSP Generation Arguments

Environment

  • Quartus® II Subscription Edition
  • BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT

    Critical Issue

    Description

    In the Altera SoC Embedded Design Suite User Guide, the following command-line tools are documented improperly:

    • bsp-create-settings
    • bsp-update-settings

    For bsp-create-settings, the user guide states that the parameter --preloader-settings-dir is optional; but it is required. Also for bsp-update-settings, it states that --preloader-settings-dir is a valid parameter; but it is not. Using the parameters as documented will cause a build error.

    Resolution

    The workaround for bsp-create-settings is to use the following required parameters:

    • --type
    • --settings
    • --preloader-settings-dir

    and the following optional parameters:

    • --bsp-dir
    • --set

    The workaround for bsp-update-settings is to use the following required parameter:

    • --settings

    and the following optional parameters:

    • --bsp-dir
    • --set

    Do not use --preloader-settings-dir with bsp-update-settings.
