    Hi Snehal


    Just to update the forum case.

    The missing steps from the RBO page are the steps below:


    1.Step to convert the sof to rbf. You could use the command below to convert the sof.

    quartus_cpf -c -o bitstream_compression=on soc_system.sof soc_system.rbf


    2.Missing u-boot.scr could be gotten from the gsrd page.

    https://releases.rocketboards.org/2025.03/gsrd/c5_gsrd/u-boot.scr


    3.Place both rbf and the u-boot.scr in the sdcard partition 1 (sdfs)


    Regards

    Jingyang, Teh

Hi


I tried the steps and able to build uboot successfully.


Could you try setting :

export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabihf-


Also check the path for the compiler to be set properly:

wget https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Files/downloads/gnu/11.2-2022.02/binrel/gcc-arm-11.2-2022.02-x86_64-arm-none-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz

tar xf gcc-arm-11.2-2022.02-x86_64-arm-none-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz

rm gcc-arm-11.2-2022.02-x86_64-arm-none-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz


Further more the cv_bsp_generator.pt needs to run using python2 instead of python3

export PATH=`pwd`/gcc-arm-11.2-2022.02-x86_64-arm-none-linux-gnueabihf/bin:$PATH
