How do I make the u-boot semi-hosted on IntelFPGA Cyclone5SoC development kit?

I am developing Cyclone5SoC based card which do not have a uart. Hence, I am checking if I can debug/use the u-boot semihosted. I know this feature exists for Arria10SoC as described here: http...

Helo there,

Firstly, I apologize for the misconception of the semihosted mentioned.

The following video mentioned to have the setup according to the rocketboards link, which should be the same.

The connection of the board to the host PC by using the USB serial connection is to see the Preloader/Uboot serial output.

The rocketboards document is old, thus I need to check with our internal team on this update for Cyclone V SoC, this may take some time, but I will update to you once I got the information.

    Hi,

    As mentioned, based on my understanding the serial connection simply means the connection of the board to the host PC by using the USB is to see the Preloader/Uboot serial output.

    Unfortunately, we do not have the design available for Cyclone V SoC, thus you may have to adjust the settings accordingly based on the linked tutorial.
