[Arria 10SX] Fail to load QSPI flash using quartus_hps

Dear all, I have a simple design using the HPS on an Arria 10 AS048. The HPS is only present to load the PL configuration at boot time using u-boot. I generated a .rbf.img and a uboot-mkpimage.b...

Hi,

I am refering to this user guide: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/ug/ug-a10-soc-boot.pdf

which in turn points to this link: https://rocketboards.org/foswiki/view/Documentation/A10GSRD160QspiBoot

The only differences are that I am targetting a bare metal application and using the GUI.

So in the end, I only have the "FPGA Configuration File in RBF format, with the mkimage header" and "U-Boot Binary and Device Tree, wrapped with mkpimage header" files to program in the Flash.

As for the GHRD, I found a couple designs for A10 and Quartus 19.1 with your link, thank you.

However, I could not find documentation on these. Therefore, I am not sure how to program them in my Flash memory and how to rebuild them to target my board (as I do not have a A10 SOC devkit, I fear to damage my board with wrong I/O assignments).
