    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


Could you try installing some pre-requisite packages below:


sudo apt-get install gawk wget git-core diffstat unzip texinfo \

gcc-multilib build-essential chrpath socat cpio python python3 \

python3-pip python3-pexpect xz-utils debianutils iputils-ping \

python3-git python3-jinja2 libegl1-mesa libsdl1.2-dev pylint3 xterm \

libncurses-dev gawk flex bison openssl libssl-dev



If not could you try building it in Ubuntu 22.04 with the packages above too.


Regards

Jingyang, Teh
