Next Steps for Booting HPS on DE1-SoC Board After Generating Pre loader and U-Boot

I have the following files for the DE1-SoC board related to HPS:

  • Preloader: preloader.bin
  • U-Boot: uboot.scr, boot.txt, uboot.image
  • Device Tree: socfpga.dts, socfpga.dtb

After generating the preloader and U-Boot, what are the next steps for booting the HPS on the DE1-SoC board? Any guidance on proper configuration or additional modifications required would be appreciated.

    Hi

    Sorry for the delay,

    For the steps , you could refer to the cyclone V devkit building bootloader guide (https://www.rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/BuildingBootloaderCycloneVAndArria10) even though you have DE1 - SoC board.

    Only a few things that you need to take note of:

    1. You don't need to use the ghrd here because this is Altera dev kit . Instead you should download the ghrd example from Terasic website for DE1- SoC (under CD image if not mistaken) and build accordingly

    2. To build the uboot, you need to specify which board you're building (highlighted in yellow) . I saw that you already have the uboot build, do you have other files specified in the guide

    eg( make socfpga_de1_soc_defconfig , also remember to edit or port the changes from the dts/dtb file you have into socfpga_cyclone5_de1_soc.dts (and dtb))

    Thanks

    Regards
