why cyclone v soc HPS running linux can only get 200 BogoMIPS?

Hi,

May I know the process of the Linux compilation that was made? OR is this from a prebuilt image used from Rocketboards? Which Linux/version are you using?

Also, what was the booting method, via SD card, QSPI etc?

Was there any error/issue during the booting of preloader/u-boot? Can you share the boot logs for preloader,u-boot,kernel and Linux?

this is the prebuilt image from rocketboards.org, boot from SD CARD. so huge gap.

hi El,

May I know the process of the Linux compilation that was made? OR is this from a prebuilt image used from Rocketboards? Which Linux/version are you using?

-- not prebuilt image. compiled myself, linux version is Linux socfpga 4.14.73-ltsi, download from https://github.com/altera-opensource

compiler is download from linaro

Also, what was the booting method, via SD card, QSPI etc?

booting from NAND FLASH.

Was there any error/issue during the booting of preloader/u-boot? Can you share the boot logs for preloader,u-boot,kernel and Linux?

yes, of course, i will post it later. by the way, rootfs come from the EDS installation directory.

Hi El,

btw, i want boot dual core for SMP and the kernel configured as SMP, but only one core booted, so i want to know how to boot dual core for SMP? is there any thing need configured in preloader or uboot?

best regards

alex

Hi Alex,

Unfortunately, we do not have design examples on SMP boot up to help your exact issue.

Let me dig in the information for you. I will let you know once I got them.

In the mean time, you may check this forum post discussing similar issue to yours, please check it out:

https://forums.intel.com/s/question/0D50P00003yyKvTSAU/how-do-i-boot-hps-of-cyclone-v-soc-on-amp

Regards.

Hi Alex,

Based on my findings, the bogomips in your design are supposedly 200 for each core, thus 400 in total, but since there is one in the system thus showing only 200.

If you are facing any othre issues/error kindly let me know.

Best Regards,

Eber.
