Intel: Please tell me how to build the Nios® II Software Build Tools (SBT) for Eclipse (Nios® II EDS) environment in Quartus® Prime ver19.1 or later.

Nios II

Category: Nios® II
Tools: Nios® II EDS
device:-

Since Quartus® Prime ver19.1 and later, Nios® II EDS no longer comes with Eclipse and Cygwin executables, so you will need to install them separately.
Also, versions other than ver19.1 Pro Edition no longer have Cygwin and have moved to WSL, so it is necessary to install WSL (Ubntsu 18.04 LTS) that runs on Windows® 10.

■ Correspondence table

Quartus® Prime Version Eclipse Cygwin WSL
ver19.1_Pr *2 *2 ×
ver19.2_Pro or later *2 × *1
ver19.1_Std or later *2 ×  

(〇: Installation required, ×: Installation not required)
*1) Once you install WSL on your Windows® 10 PC and build the environment, you don't need to install it again every time you install Quartus® Prime.
*2) Eclipse and Cygwin need to build the environment every time you install Quartus® Prime. (to build in the Quartus® Prime installation directory, respectively)
