ARM DS Unable to connect to agilex SoC HPS
Hi,
I am trying to use ARM Development Studio 2022.0 to develop ARM Bare Metal FW in my Intel® Agilex™ F-Series FPGA Development Board (FPGA Device AGFB014R24A2E3VR0), but i am unable to access HPS using the Intel FPGA Download Cable, i get the following message when trying to debug:
"Unable to connect to agilex_test
Reason:
The target hardware identity could not be verified. Please check that the target being connected to is of type Agilex SoC"
The Agilex FPGA is configured with a very basic design which includes HPS, EMIF and one OnChip Memory, the bitstream was generated using Quartus Prime Pro 22.3 and the u-boot-spl-dtb.hex from RocketBoards.org reference designs.
By the way, i cannot see the Agilex HPS device in JTAG chain using the Quartus Programmer Tool.
Any help is very welcome.
Thanks

Hi Aik Eu,
Still not able to use ARM Development Studio 2022.0 to download FW to HPS, is there any reference design that i can use?

Hi caflore1,
We do not have bare metal example for agilex at the moment.
However for soc design example, you can refer to the document below to troubleshoot program flashing related issue:
https://www.rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/BuildingBootloader#Agilex_45_Debugging_U_45Boot
To get the pre built files to test, you can get from the link below:

Thanks.

Hi all,
I am currently facing the same problem. Have you found any solution about it? If you found a solution to it, I'd be glad to hear it. The Arm DS gives me the error as "The target hardware identity couldn't be verified. Please check that the target being connected to is of type Agilex-7 SoC" I also couldn't see the hps in jtag chain. My switches are at its default position, and I am working on Agilex-7 Dev Kit. Could you please help about that?
Best Regards,
Balerion
