Hi

we have made some progress (and changed our username :))

the new facts are:

  • We are not the only guys who have probblems to get an own image running on the Arrow SoCKit.

  • It seems to us as if the preloader does not work with the Arrow SoCKit.

  • You can get another image here
  • In order to run a self built image on the arrow SoCKit, we think you have to use the preloader that comes with the SoCKit image. You can extract it from the image you just downloaded by using dd on the third partition to a file and then using this file with the –p rather than –rp option. Probably, you can also generate your own SPL but you have to generate a SPL from Quartus with a project which mimics settings from SoCKit reference project.

Do you or someone else have made any progress, too?

Greetings
