SoC EDS DS-5 installation on Linux

851 Views Asked by At

I am trying to install EDS DS-5 18.1 on my Linux 16.04 machine but after installation, I can't run it (not at all even from terminal window). The error message is:

the expected Ds-5 environment has not been configured. Please ensure Eclipse is started using the correct executable so that the environment is automatically configured.

The solution of the problem was simple and I just noticed it in DS-5 examples which can be found in directory: C:\altera\18.1\embedded\examples\software...

DS-5 must be launched from the SoC EDS Command Shell in order to have all environment variables properly set up. Launch the SoC EDS Command Shell in Windows by selecting Altera -> SoC Embedded Design Suite -> SoC EDS Command Shell.

In Linux, run embedded_command_shell.sh found in the linux64 directory. (Do not source the .sh, simply type its name at the prompt.)
