Stratix 10 SX SoC devkit quick start guide doesn't boot

Hello, We bought the new Stratix 10 SX SoC devkit (H-Tile version). We followed the quick start guide document but we have no message on the UART and no IP is request by DHCP on ethernet port. We ...

    Hello Aik,

    Finally we succeeded to boot the board from QSPI + SD card, U-boot first followed by Linux.

    The only thing we done to started successfully are :

    - Read the full QSPI content to a file (Default memory content when we received the board).

    - Write the QSPI flash with the file we read before (the QSPI should be the same, as we wrote it with the default content).

    -> After that the board booting, with some UART messages and a IP address get by the board.

    We doesn't understand what it solved the issue because we re-writed the QSPI with the content we read...

    However, the most important thing is now it works, and we are no more stuck to boot the board.

    After that, we followed the link below, and we are able to regenerate all the files and boot again the board with these new files.

    Thanks for your help.

    Regards

Hello Aik,

Thanks for your answer.

As it is the "H-Tile version", there is no prebuilt binaries provided and we need to rebuild all.

We didn't build the QSPI flash, but we builded the "FPGA SOF, with HPS Debug FSBL". We used that one to program the FPGA, as mentioned on this page: https://www.rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/S10GSRDBootLinuxFromSDCard180

Programming the FPGA by JTAG should replace the usage of QSPI flash and we arrive to the same point of booting linux.

But in our case, we get always the same results : nothing on UART or IP.

For information, we reflashed the Intel MAX 10 with the lastest design we found (factory_recovery folder from H-Tile Kit Installer Package). Nothing better for the results.

Regards

Anthony
