Trouble Getting started with Stratix 10 SOC

I've recently purchased a Stratix 10 SOC board for experimentation. Although I've got the out of the box GHRD loaded and working, I've been struggling to get ANY changes I've made properly loaded in...

    Hi,
    Really sorry for the long delay in getting back, was out of office.

    First of all , this is the latest stratix10 user guide that we have, just in case if you didnt have it yet. 

    https://altera-fpga.github.io/rel-25.3/embedded-designs/stratix-10/sx/soc/gsrd/ug-gsrd-s10sx-soc/#overview

    Unfortunately, you cannot disable the security or secure device manager (SDM) as all configurations are routed through it, even if advance security features are disabled, SDM still enforces strict boot configuration.

    For changing sysid in qsys , did you also update the device tree and regenerate the files out, also whether you're using Programming File Generator to generate the .rbf out?

    Maybe you can take a look into the github examples on top to see the steps to build for stratix 10 ?

     

    Thanks

    Regards

    Kian

      Hi Jcodesmith, 

      Glad that you manage to resolved the issue. It might be possible as SDM does check for device ID in bitstream header, if it does not match, then it will abort the configuration. If there is no further queries related to this issue, I would like to transition this thread to community support.

      Thanks

      Regards
