Is this based on the GHRD? or custom design.

@AhmedH_Intel​ , sorry for the delayed response. This is a custom design. I tried putting my question out on the u-boot mailing list and they redirected me back here since Intel maintains https://github.com/altera-opensource/u-boot-socfpga

I am targetting DE1-SoC with the u-boot software from the repo above.

I tried socfpga_cyclone5_defconfig and that led to the programming error.

I also tried socfpga_de1_soc_defconfig and I didnt even get console messages when I booted when I used that configuration.

I can send you a zip of the hardware design if needed.

Thanks.
