    Hi eng6138


    Sorry for the late reply.

    It seems like the project created for Agilex & CycloneV in RiscFree is not compatible to the Arria10 board.

    I too got trouble trying to create a project for Arria10.

    At the moment the RiscFree is still new to Intel that is why there are not much project created.


    However I did find another IDE to debug the Arria10 baremetal.

    https://www.rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/SoCEDS#Install_ARM_DS

    It is using the Arm DS.


    Regards

    Jingyang, Teh

I should mention all of the above is without an SD card inserted (with the switches set to boot from SD card). I've used the GSRD image that includes Linux and the RiscFree IDE hangs indefinitely at 100% while trying to launch the application. I've build an image from scratch without the Linux parts and it also hangs at the same point. Below is all that shows in the Console window:

Ashling GDB Server for ARM (ash-arm-gdb-server).
v22.3.2, 19-Aug-2022, (c)Ashling Microsystems Ltd 2022.

Checking for an active debug connection using the selected debug probe (SN: 1):
Connected to target device "Arria-10" using USB-Blaster-2 (1) via jtag at 16.00MHz.
Waiting for debugger connection on port 38491 for core 0.
Press 'Q' to Quit.
Got a debugger connection from 127.0.0.1 on port 38491.
Quitting (Ctrl + C)...

When I finally turn off the board with the debugger hung, the following pop-up occurs:

Error in final launch sequence:
