8 years agoIf you think using the debugger will somehow get the SD card approach to work then I'm OK with trying it. My point is that if the design works with the debugger that's great but ultimately it doesn't end up helping me because I need it to work without the debugger. There are several forum posts for SoC issues where people suggest using the debugger, it works, and then no one bothers to help anymore even though that's not what the original poster requested help with. I want to avoid this.
Additionally, the bare metal applications that I'm running are not mine. They are known working altera reference designs. So I'm not sure what I'd be debugging as far as the software is concerned...? I'm more apt to believe at this point that this is a process/flow issue (like I'm skipping a step or using the wrong file format or something) rather than an application bug. If you'd like to point to or provide some debug instructions I'll try it out and report results. I've never used the debugger before. Just keep in mind that I'm using the bare metal GCC arm-altera-eabi- toolchain and not the licensed ARM DS-5 tool-chain.
