Hi jjac705,


Firstly, you will require to have a linux environment to build your project which runs with linux cmd.

After you have downloaded the project from here https://www.rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/CycloneVSoCGSRD#Release_Contents then only you will have the cv_soc_devkit_ghrd.tar.gz

Then only you run the below linux cmds to make a new directory(cv_soc_devkit_ghrd) then extract the files from cv_soc_devkit_ghrd.tar.gz


mkdir cv_soc_devkit_ghrd

tar -xzvf cv_soc_devkit_ghrd.tar.gz -C cv_soc_devkit_ghrd/


In your linux environment, you must have soc eds installed.

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

Then only you can run the embedded_cmd_shell.sh from the specific directory after the installation of SoC_EDS.


As for the pre-build sd-card image, follow Creating SD Card on Windows

https://www.rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/CycloneVSoCGSRD#Release_Content

rename the prebuilt sd-card image to sdimage.img then only follow the steps to write into your sd card.

Your hardware system will perform sd-card boot up with your board switches settings as below:


  • SW1: All OFF
  • SW2: All OFF
  • SW3: ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON-ON
  • SW4: OFF-OFF-ON-ON


you will get boot up logs when your system boot up without issue.



Thanks.

Regards,
