preloader-mkpimage binary from SOC EDS V17.0 is not working

Hi,

1. If your GHRD/Project is created using QUARTUS 17.1std you need to use the same version of "SoC EDS" (i.e SoC EDS 17.1std) to avoid the issues.

2. GHRD was created with Quartus 16 whereas, We are using version 17. Click the Launch IP Upgrade Tool button, and this window will appear, You can safely ignore the warning and click the Perform Automatic Upgrade button.

Make sure while Generating the preloader in BSP Editor point to correct directory and compile.

Thanks for suggestion.

I have checked for version for GHRD and SOC EDS and that are same.

I am facing problem while jumping to application for boot-loader. In V14 jump from boot-loader to application is happening correctly, but in V17 it is not happening.

In below my code 'preloader-mkpimage.bin' is not working after '__DI(); ' call

"

jumptostart = (void (*)()) PHY_APP_IMG_BEGIN;

Reg_Cpsr = __GETSR();

Reg_Cpsr = 0x1d3;

__SETSR(Reg_Cpsr);

//_api disable all interrupts

__DI();

//MMU DIsable

MCR(CP15_SCTLR, (0x0));

//_api SD controller reset before loading APP image.

SDMMC_Reset();

LCDC_LoadBitmap(meatball7);

jumptostart();

"

After troubleshooting the issue in detail, we found that ‘sdram.c’ file generated by SOC ED V17.1 is different than SOC EDS V14.

Path for sdram.c : /software/spl_bsp/uboot-socfpga/arch/arm/cpu/armv7/socfpga

‘sdram.c’ file generated by SOC ED V17.1 calls below two methods in ‘unsigned sdram_mmr_init_full(unsigned int sdr_phy_reg)’

sdram_set_protection_config(0, sdram_calculate_size());

sdram_dump_protection_config();

Because of these two methods our application lock up during boot.

Our application works correctly after commenting out these two methods.

Is there any configuration or check box available in SOC EDS V17.1 so that mentioned methods should not get called?

Hii VikasP_Altera,
