Occasional ContributorHi Brian
I don't think we had drop the support of these devices, but the embedded software (including U-Boot) evolves from release to release. Sometimes, there are dependencies on using the correct component versions to boot successfully ( SDM FW included on Quartus, ATF. U-Boot SPL, U-Boot, Linux). So in our releases pages (https://github.com/altera-fpga/gsrd-socfpga/releases) we include the combinations of components that we validate. For GSRD page or any other page with instructions to build binaries, we have a version of the page for each one of the releases with the component version combinations that we know they work. For this pages, we switched from Rocketboards to https://altera-fpga.github.io/ some time ago. For Agilex 5, I think most of the versions are already in the new site.
Thanks

ContributorI am confused what actually you are asking or confirming?
For Das U-Boot 2025 01 and 04 had changed the SPL detection.
While 2025 07 the stack is even changed which at this stage I can't make it boot on any Cyclone V device.
For both Altera Git U-Boot or Das U-Boot I had confirmed 2025 01 04 and older revision all aligned excluded dts file.
Aka modifications to boot properly on SD only platform.
I had not followed any altera boot document nor the rocket forum b.c. the follow is not telling any backward compatibility.
However it is actually allow on older "hps_isw_handoff" folder to reused on new Python script.
So I am not sure what you are asking for.
As far I can tell I have no idea why the 2025 07 cannot boot properly.
There are too many patches on SPL and the stack change include start.S.
