Hi Kiebach,

Thanks for your response. I will try these codes as soon as I am able to connect to my dev-kit. Currently, I'm facing a problem in Arm DS when I try to create a debug session. I can't even download and debug a simple helloWorld.axf app The debug server is started but it couldn't connect to the device. It says "The target hardware identity couldn't be verified. Please check that the target being connected to is of type Agilex-7 SoC" Have you ever faced anything like this. I am using Arm DS v2023.1.

Best Regards,

Balerion

Yeah the Agilex7 JTAG connection is not working. Any solution that Intel has offered always gets bogged down in build failures due to licensing issues for IPs that are not relevant, like ethernet, for example. So far the HPS is black box with the UART being only window into it...

    Hi again Kiebach,

    Currently, you are able to work bare-metal on Agilex-7 SoC? What kind of board do you have? I am working on a dev-kit. The reason for me to ask this is to understand whether I do something wrong or not. If we are working on the same board, I wonder how you connect, download and debug your code on it.

    Thanks,
