BSP Not Updated for Memory Size Changes in SOPC Builder

Environment

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

    Critical Issue

    Description

    If you change the size of a memory in SOPC Builder, and you have a BSP previously created with v9.1 or earlier, the memory region sizes are no longer correct. Regenerating the BSP does not update the BSP’s memory region sizes.

    This problem can also arise if you have manually edited the memory region sizes in your BSP.

    Resolution

    In the BSP Editor, on the Linker Script tab, you can correct the memory region size either of the following ways:

    • Edit the memory region size manually.
    • Click Restore Defaults to rerun the default Tcl script. The default Tcl script reads the updated memory region size from the SOPC information file (.sopcinfo) and updates the BSP.

    For detailed information about keeping your BSP consistent with changes in the underlying SOPC Builder system, refer to “Revising Your BSP” in the Nios II Software Build Tools chapter of the Nios II Software Developer’s Handbook.
