Found solution to NiosII SBT not opening here.

Steps to fix:

cd <install_dir>/quartus/linux64

sudo mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.quartus_distrib

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6

Was able to install using tip from epozzobon on how to increase /tmp size; however, needed to sim-link "/tmp/pamac-build" rather than "/tmp/yaourt-tmp-$USER".

Quartus runs, but I have two issues:

  1. Cannot add a PLL in Platform Designer (QSys). Item added, wizard loads, but item removed when wizard closed.

  2. NiosII Software Build Tools for Eclipse loads, but vaporizes after workspace path selected. Can't locate log file in workspace, so no other info here.

Anyone else have these issues?

The default group in the udev rules for the USB Blaster (plugdev) does not exist on Arch Linux. Instead of creating a new group just for Quartus, I replaced the MODE and GROUP entries with TAG+="uaccess". Patched 51-usbblaster.rules available here: https://pastebin.com/2q2Kx3Tn. As I understand it, the uaccess tag gives access to all users with a session. I'm not sure if this is the desired behavior for everyone. It seems to be the default behavior in systemd for most USB devices.

I was installing this, and I noticed that there was an error (at least for me) in the modelsim-ase.desktop file. When I ran modelsim from rofi drun, it wouldn't launch until I appended -gui to the end of the exec command. Here is my new file:

Does anyone encountered this problem? I have resized the /tmp/ folder to 50G and problem persists.

As a detail, while extracting install binaries, 8G of RAM and 10G of SWAP memory is used (all of it).

dzamlo: fortunately, neither workaround is needed anymore since Intel has fixed the installer in version 18.1. I have thus reverted to calling it directly.

dzamlo commented on 2018-09-28 15:49 (UTC)

It seems that the absence of the eclipse based IDE is an issue with this package.

I modified the PKGBUILD to use the installers instead of the installFiles.tcl script. The solution I implemented to workaround the deadlock issue is to regularly check the installer log file to detect the end of the installation. Whe the installation is finished, I kill the process and continue.

I've done that in quick and dirty way, for example I didn't removed the tcl script. You can find the result here: https://gitlab.com/dzamlo/quartus-free-archlinux-package

I've not tested that extensively yet, but this seems to work.

I installed this package and cannot find the eclipse based IDE to develop for the Nios processor that is supposed to be part of Quartus.

I tried to find it in the package to no avail.

Is this an issue on my end or is this an issue with this package ?

If you are getting errors like components/QuartusLiteSetup-18.0.0.614-linux.run: Write failed you might not have enough space in your /tmp/ directory (usually mounted in RAM)

To solve this, create a symlink to a partition that has enough free space before building:

rm -rf /tmp/yaourt-tmp-$USER
mkdir ~/tmp
cd /tmp/
ln -s ~/tmp yaourt-tmp-$USER
