SoC EDS issue

Hi jjac705,

I think the document you are referring to may not work if using later version of Quartus.

Refer to this link for building bootloader:

https://www.rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/BuildingBootloaderCycloneVAndArria10

Thanks.

Hi Aik,

I have read above link before. It talks about how to use a Linux host. However, I don't have a Linux host but a Windows host.

I am not sure on how to build a bootloader in the Windows platform.

Kindly look into the matter please.

Thanking You

Yours Sincerely

Jerry Jacob

Hi jjac705,

You will require a linux environment to build the necessary files. Either you use virtual machine or install WSL to have the linux environment.

Hi Aik Eu,

I have the WSL in Windows 10 and have installed Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

I am not sure on how to use this link https://www.rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/BuildingBootloaderCycloneVAndArria10 to create the u-boot.

I am not sure on where should I start especially while using a Windows platform.

Hi jjac705,

Follow from the top of the web page where there you can click on the different instructions provided.

First you will need to know how your system is booting from, etc qspi or sd card.

You can start with looking into the building the U-boot section and try to execute the steps to generate the required files for your system to boot up.

Thanks.

Hi aikeu,

I have attempted to make the Linux kernel as per the instructions given in the link https://www.rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/BuildingBootloaderCycloneVAndArria10?elq_cid=7076518_ts1673294693388&erpm_id=10201171_ts1673294693388. I have done this in the Embedded Command Shell.bat.

I am using Quartus Prime Standard 19.1.

When I put the command 'export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabihf' and then make socfpga_defconfig, I got an error.

However, I changed to 'export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf' and then did make socfpga_defconfig then it says that the compiler is old.

What can I do to get out of this?

Jerry Jacob

Hi jjac705,

In the building bootloader document, you will need to start with download and setup the toolchain first. example as below:

Depends on your requirement, you can build U-boot first without the Linux kernel to have the system boot up.

Download and setup the toolchain required for Cyclone V SoC and Arria 10 SoC:

wget https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Files/downloads/gnu/11.2-2022.02/binrel/gcc-arm-11.2-2022.02-x86_64-arm-none-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz

tar xf gcc-arm-11.2-2022.02-x86_64-arm-none-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz

rm gcc-arm-11.2-2022.02-x86_64-arm-none-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz

export PATH=`pwd`/gcc-arm-11.2-2022.02-x86_64-arm-none-linux-gnueabihf/bin:$PATH

Thanks.

Hi Aikeu,

I attempted to use the above. When I used, rm gcc-arm-11.2-2022.02-x86_64-arm-none-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz, I got an info where it says No such file or directory.

Hi jjac705,

"rm gcc-arm-11.2-2022.02-x86_64-arm-none-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz" is to remove the tar.xz files which you get from

"wget https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Files/downloads/gnu/11.2-2022.02/binrel/gcc-arm-11.2-2022.02-x86_64-arm-none-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz" after that files have been extracted with "tar xf gcc-arm-11.2-2022.02-x86_64-arm-none-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz".

The tar.xz file will not be required after it has been extracted so that line using the rm cmd is used to remove it.

Thanks
