Compile ATLAS_SOC_GHRD with QP 16.1.2 (203), Win 10 x64, ARM tool chain (on cygwin)

Hi,

I have a DE0-NANO, and had fun with it.

Now I try DE0-NANO-SoC,

End goal would be to complete development of Linux Driver as described here (https://rocketboards.org/foswiki/view/documentation/ws3developingdriversforalterasoclinux) (WS3 Developing Drivers for Altera SoC Linux)

As I don't know much where to start. I went to rocketboards.org > getting started > atlas soc, And do compile hardware and preloader with ARM toolchain (cygwin) for win 10 x64 as described here (https://rocketboards.org/foswiki/view/documentation/atlassoccompilehardwaredesign) using "gcc-arm-none-eabi-6-2017-q1-update-win32.exe" from ARM website

Think is that the tutorial is for QP 15, and I have QP 16.1 (And prefer avoid downgrade).

Seems to work not bad, but few errors and finally crash.

It tells a known issue is that the Stratix support should be installed for the compilation to work. But as I have little budget and only QP lite edition, I can't install stratix support... Maybe also the crash is not related to that.

Ok, a bit lost. Thanks for advice to set up my dev tool chain to be able to play with HPS + FPGA.

(let me know if missing information or details here)

    I am pretty sure that you can use QP lite edition + Cyclone V device only (without Stratix) - have been using this configuration without any issue so far.
