Is Yocto BSP for DE1-SoC available? Or can I get the GSRD to work on the DE1-SoC?

Hi,

I was about to do the same thing. I currently have a working setup for a SoCKit board. I was hoping just to grab the socfpga_cyclone5_de0_sockit.dts (and possibly the files it includes as they have changed a bit too). The Yocto MACHINE should still be "cyclone5", the SOC_FAMILY should still be "socfpga". You have to patch the kernel source to add the .dts file(s) above and then patch the Makefile at arch/arm/boot/dts/Makefile to add this one to the list. Use KERNEL_DEVICETREE = "socfpga_cyclone5_de0_sockit.dtb" to then dump it out to the Yocto deploy folder. If that didn't work, I was going to look for a modified kernel configuration (modified from socfpga_defconfig). I'll post my results when I get a chance to try this out. Good luck.
