Arrow Cyclone V SoC problem with preloader

Hello.

I'm trying to execute program Altera-SoCFPGA-HardwareLib-FPGA-CV-GNU from examples on Arrow Cyclone SoC.

And I see this message:

ERROR(TAD43-NAL52): # in D:\FPGA\Altera\FOG_new_cyclone5\sockit_ghrd\software\Altera-SoCFPGA-HardwareLib-FPGA-CV-GNU\debug-hosted.ds:4 while executing: reset system

! Failed to reset device Cortex-A9_0

! Cannot attain state requested.

I have the same problem with my own preloader:

1. Download sockit_ghrd from rocketboards.org

2. Generate Qsys system

3. Open bsp-editor from command shell and generate preloader from handoff files

4. Run make in folder spl_bsp

5. Run eclipce

6. Create new debug configuration and debug it

What am I doing wrong?

    Problem solved.

    All examples are working good for Altera SoC.

    Unfortunately, they are not compatible with Arrow SoC. Furthermore, script preloader.ds from bsp-editor also don't work on Arrow SoC.

    Now we are using self-made .ds and it's working great.

      Dear fellow programmer,

      I'm experiencing similar problem. I'm receiving following error:

      "

      No SYSID registers could be found. Has a peripheral description file been supplied?

      Would be helpful if anyone can point me in the right direction to resolve this.

      Best regards,

      Filip

    Hi Mike, I have a same problem.

    Can you upload your debug script?

    regards.
