I have some questions about the process you have followed:

  • What command did you use to merge the .hex with the SOF? Did you use the command found in sof_with_hps.bat supplied by Terasic?

    Hello,

    24.3 is very early software for Agilex 5. I would strongly recommend updating to 26.1 and then using the validated ATF and Uboot ingredients from https://github.com/altera-fpga with the label QPDS26.1_REL_GSRD_PR

      I was using 26.1 but had to downgrade to 24.3 to be able to use the Terasic GHRD because any other version causes a lot of issues with it
