3 Any hardware modification
Answer: Adding in soft IP TSE design, w/ MSGDMA, HPS i2C, and pio for connecting a design w/ SFP modules
4 Software modification(uboot, linux kernel)
Answer:
uboot: v2023.10
linux kernel: Linux version 6.1.38
5 do you have error log ?
Answer:
No error log: Could not even get the kernel to boot. But this is where it stops:
Starting kernel ...
Deasserting all peripheral resets
Please note:
For any one with the same problem it came down to the DTB. Im not sure what part exactly from the DTB the kernel did not like but I had different versions of a DTB from example designs and the one that worked was the DTS from a10s_tse_example_design from rocketboards. I was using the DTS from the compiled DTB from terasic that came with the development board and that one was causing issues.
MY assumption is there was some peripheral that the kernel could not talk too (i2C, spi, etc) that was hanging the kernel.
