U-Boot for Stratix II

Hi MFM,

> how to install U-Boot on a Stratix II

1. Download the u-boot source archive from: http://www.psyent.com/download (http://www.psyent.com/download)

2. Decompress and review the files USING.txt and BUILDING.txt in the top directory.

3. Edit the file include/configs/EP1C20.h to match your hardware.

4. Edit the file board/altera/common/AMDLV065D.c so the flash_init routine is just:

unsigned long flash_init (void) { return (CFG_FLASH_SIZE);}

5. Build u-boot:

$ make distclean

$ make PK1C20_config

$ make

At this point you should be able to download u-boot and get a command prompt.

You'll have enough to start playing around with u-boot. When you're ready to actually

do a full port, read the u-boot README file, then if you need help, make another

post (or you can PM me) -- I'll be glad to help. If you simply use an existing board

as an example, you should have no problems.

Hi Scott,

I sent you a PM with no reply http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif .

Well, I&#39;ve done what you suggested, the build was successful.

But when I try to program u-boot into flash like in the using.txt, the console display an error message

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div>

Communication port must be specified.

Use openport <port> to configure the communication port[/b]

I tried the openport command and I&#39;ve got a window error : Driver open failed

I&#39;m wondering if I could use my usb blaster, instead of the serial cable, and the flash programmer to program u-boot into flash memory, cause I tried to do so too but without any success.

thanks for your help.

Warm Regards

Hi MFM,

Sorry for the delay ...

... but please be patient -- I don&#39;t get paid for my participation on the forum -- and I often

get bogged down doing the _other_ stuff that let&#39;s me & the family eat ;-)

I&#39;ll always do my best to respond though.

Yes. You can use the JTAG UART as the u-boot console and the flash programmer to

program u-boot into flash. Until you have your flash driver working, the flash programmer

is the best bet. Once you have your flash driver working, the u-boot tftp and flash

programmer is much faster.
