N6000-PL MAX10 Build

Hi,

I am currently building the N6000 MAX10 BMC provided in this guide, when running the script as mentioned in the guide "./build.sh" the script throws errors. I am not able to clear this error and the file is not present in the directory. Any ideas as what to do next is deeply appreciated?

Thank you,
Best Regards.

    Hi,

    I had a discussion with one of our OFS-BMC team on the build issue and the srec_cat command and they are aware of the issue and due to release a new build script enhancement to resolve it.

    Issue cause : new Quartus version added additional padding zeroes in .hex file compared to the older versions.

    As the new build script is undergoing corporate release process, we could try this first by manually changing the ./build.sh script first to solve the padding issue on the hex file.

    Change the command from this :

    elf2hex -v bmc_bootloader.elf 0x00000000 0x0001ffff --width=32 --record=4 --little-endian-mem --no-zero-fill --create-lanes=0 bmc_bootloader.hex

    To this in build.sh:

    elf2hex -v bmc_bootloader.elf 0x00000000 0x0001ffff --width=8 --little-endian-mem --no-zero-fill --create-lanes=0 mem_init/max10_onchip_flash.hex

    I haven't confirmed on the fix yet as I'm still currently building it on BMC v14 although they mentioned the new script is targeted for BMC v15 (max10_bmc_v3_15_0). Will let you know the result later as it will take take some time to build

    Thanks

    Regards

    Kian

    Hi @khtan ,

    Sorry for the delayed response, looks like I'll be needing to upgrade my server to check for the E810 since my current server doesn't support PCIe Bifurcation. And hence the E810 doesn't get detected in the lanconf tool.
    All my queries have been answered and you can close this case.

    Thank you,
    Best Regards.
