    After an endless series of tests I finally understood that the problem was simply the fact that I was trying to debug an application compiled to run on the DDR SDRAM, without having initialized the DDR via u-boot!
    Now I can debug ARM DS with both USB-Blaster-II and USB-BLASTER-I (both work)!
    Now I'm trying to understand if there is a driver for ETHERNET that I can use in BARE-METAL mode.
    Does Intel's HWLIB have this driver for CYCLONE V SoC?
    Regards, Luca.

Hi GOMEZ_IT,

Unfortunately, we cannot provide clarification on that matter as Arm Development Studio IDE (23.1) is not our product. Therefore, we have limitations in offering credentials on this point. But in the Arm® Development Studio's Hardware and Host Platform Requirements, on page 18, it does mentioned the requirement to use the USB Blaster II.

Regards,

Fakhrul

    OK thank you. Then I will try to buy a USB BLASTER II and try to use it. I will update the post once the test is done.
