Other workflow for generating Preloader since Quartus-Prime Version 19.1 with "SoC EDS 19.1 Command Shell„

I work with FPGA-Eval-Board DE10-Standard from Terasic with Cyclone V and HPS.

Before Quartus-Prime Version 19.1 workflow in "SoC EDS 18.1 Command Shell„ was:

Generate the "Preloader" using the BSP Editor

Change to Quartus Project folder:

bsp-editor.exe &

File, New ..\hps_isw_handoff\soc_system_hps_0

Generate --> ..\software\spl_bsp is generated !!

Build the "Preloader„:

Change to folder ..\software\spl_bsp

>make

--> preloader-mkpimage.bin is generated !!

------------------

SoC EDS 19.1 Command Shell„ :

Change to Quartus Project folder:

bsp-editor.exe &

File, New ..\hps_isw_handoff\soc_system_hps_0

Generate --> ..\software\spl_bsp is generated !!

Build the "Preloader„:

Change to folder ..\software\spl_bsp

>make

I get the message:

"Please visit https://rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/BuildingBootloader for instructions on how to build the bootloader."

But on this page I couldn't find any instuction to generate Preloader "preloader-mkpimage.bin".

Can anyone help???

Does anyone know if generation of preloader-mkpimage.bin in all future versions Quartus not exist.

Thanks for any answer.

Gerhard

    Hi Gerhard,

    For confirmation, are you using the Standard or Pro version of SoC EDS 19.1?

    Best Regards,

    Eber.

    Hi Gerhard,

    Have you downloaded and setup the toolchain?

    If you have, you will still need to execute the 3 exports which is the export PATH, export CROSS_COMPILE etc.. before executing the make.

    Let me know if this does not fix the issue.

    I'm using "EDS Command Shell" running on Win 10 PC. How can I check if correct Toolchain is installed?

    Is there manual how to install toolchain under "EDS Command Shell"?

    Regards

    Gerhard

      Hi,

      Unfortunately, the building bootloader tutorial is targeting for Linux host users it is not meant for Windows 10 users.

      If you opt to use Windows 10, I recommend that you use Quartus and SoC EDS 18.1 std, and use the bsp-editor flow.

        If you wish to, you may install a virtual machine and learn Linux, it is pretty simple since you are going to use Linux in Cyclone V SoC anyway.

        Regards.
