The platform I'm developing for's support package is visible in the Impulse CoDeveloper Application properties, but not under Properties>Configuration Properties>Impulse C>HDL Generation in Visual Studio. Where should I copy the package to get it to show up in Visual Studio as well?

Thanks,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

To add a new PSP to the Visual Studio plugin, you can edit the file ImpulseLink.rules, in the %IMPULSEC_HOME%\VisualStudio\VS8 or ...\VS9 directory (depending on which version of VS you're using). Look for this section and add an EnumValue element as appropriate:

CODE

<EnumProperty
Name="Target"
DisplayName="Target"
Description="Selects the hardware target"
PropertyPageName="HDL Generation"
>
<Values>
<EnumValue
Value="0"
DisplayName="Altera Generic (Verilog)"
Switch="/a altera_generic_vlog /veri"
/>

After toying with it a little, I started to get the error "Error result 2 returned from C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe". I reverted to a previous version of the ImpulseLink.rules file, but now I'm still getting this error when I try to generate hardware.

FYI - I switched from hardware to debug compile, compiled, then switched back to hardware and it worked. Not sure why.
