2021-10-10: I re-created this page on my self-hosted web server.
2018-09-11: e1 - I changed the system.qsys file so it had the correct device, and ran qsys-generate again

still need to figure out how to get ao486, pic and driver_sd into the mix.
2018-09-11: e1 - I set up the ao486 project, just to see if I could get it to compile. I commented out all pin assignments, and all device info from the .qsf files. Opened the ./syn/soc/soc.qpf file in quartus II, and added corect FPGA device from the menu. Analysis and synthesis requires that qsys has ben run first. Qsys won't start from the menu, some Java error. So start it from the command line:
[tingo@kg-elitebook soc]$ pwd /home/tingo/personal/projects/fpga/Altera/c3/ao486/syn/soc
run it
[tingo@kg-elitebook soc]$ ~/progs/altera/13.1/quartus/sopc_builder/bin/qsys-generate 2018.09.11.18:13:34 Error: You must specify a .qsys system to generate.
makes sense

Set the maximum heap memory size to be used -h, --help ? Show help QSYS-GENERATE ------------- Generate a Qsys system. <1st arg file> Required. The name of the .qsys system file to generate. --synthesis[=<VERILOG|VHDL>] Optional. Create synthesis HDL files, used to compile the system in a Quartus II project. --block-symbol-file Optional. Create a block symbol file (.bsf) for the system. --simulation=<VERILOG|VHDL> Optional. Create a simulation model for the system. The simulation model contains generated HDL files for the simulator, and may include simulation-only features. The preferred simulation language must be specified. --testbench=<SIMPLE|STANDARD> Optional. Create a testbench system. The testbench system instantiates the original system, adding bus functional models to drive the top-level interfaces. Once generated, the bus functional models can interact with the system in the simulator. --testbench-simulation=<VERILOG|VHDL> Optional. After creating the testbench system, also create a simulation model for the testbench system. --output-directory=<value> Optional. Set the output directory. Each generation target is created in a subdirectory of the output directory. If the output directory is not specified, a subdirectory of the current working directory matching the name of the system will be used. --search-path=<value> Optional. If omitted, a standard default path will be used. If provided, a comma-separated list of paths will be searched. To include the standard path in your replacement, use "$", like "/extra/dir,$". --family=<value> Optional. Set the device family. --part=<value> Optional. Set the device part number. If set, this option overrides the "--family" option. --allow-mixed-language-simulation Optional. When the value of this switch is true, if the author of a component in the design has declared a 'preferred' simulation language, a fileset of the component that best matches the language will be used for the simulation model generation. When this switch is not used (default) or its value is false, the simulation target language specified through the file-set switch will used for all components for simulation model generation. --allow-mixed-language-testbench-simulation Optional. When the value of this switch is true, if the author of a component in the design has declared a 'preferred' simulation language, a fileset of the component that best matches the language will be used for the testbench simulation model generation. When this switch is not used (default) or its value is false, the simulation target language specified through the file-set switch will used for all components for testbench simulation model generation. --jvm-max-heap-size=<value> Optional. The maximum memory size to be used for allocations when running this tool. This value is specified as <size><unit> where unit can be m (or M) for multiples of megabytes or g (or G) for multiples of gigabytes. The default value is 512m. --help Optional.
