@RolandoS_Altera

On top of your responses.

I am not pointing on the stage after SPL aka U-Boot. Only focusing on SPL aka the HPS ARM ROM detecting the SPL etc.

I cannot see this is related to component variant. b.c. as long as the HEX data on the MBR sanity is good. Then it should at least provide message on serial port.

However on 2025 01 or 04 it is not able to do so on default cyclone_V defconfig file passed along version of U-Boot.

Hello Brian

Our documentation and HPS releases are based on the Altera repositories (https://github.com/altera-fpga). Please look at our Release Notes page that shows what versions of each component we released:

https://github.com/altera-fpga/gsrd-socfpga/releases/tag/QPDS25.1.1_REL_GSRD_PR

In the case of U-Boot, the latest release is based on 2025.04. The next release will be based in 2025.07.

We are working to push all the updates that we have in our repositories to the repositories that the community supports (i.e. https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot) but it's possible that the latest code in the Altera repos are not yet propagated to the community repos, so this is the reason why we direct our customers to use the Altera repos.

If you have any further questions about Cyclone V, it would be better to open a new case, so we can focus in this case to solve the issues related to Agilex 5.

Thanks

Rolando

    Hi @RolandoS_Altera

    I do see the github page info.

    However, if you know better as internal stuff you should see Cyclone V only up to 2024.07.

    The golden package links are all dead.

    There are no confirmation nor test built on 2025.01 .04 etc.

    There are no sanity check on SPL boot after this early year SPL boot RAW settings had changed.

    I guess Altera would reduce massive support on C5 and market+support Ag5 for business purpose.
