Hi,

Environment:

Quartus Prime Lite 22.1std

SOCEDS standard 20.1

Host computer: Windows 11 with WSL2 ubuntu 20.04 LTS /python 3.9.1-arm64

 

I made a design with my personal IP in it.

And try to build the u-boot based on that.

I'm following the instruction on rocketboard.org:

Building Bootloader for Cyclone V and Arria 10 | Documentation | RocketBoards.org

 

And this error occured:

Hi,


Yeah for that issue need to do this:

To resolve the NameError: name 'unicode' is not defined, replace the occurrence of "unicode()" with "str()". This issue occurs because unicode() was renamed to str() in Python 3.


Locate the unicode() in "cv_example.sdmmc/cv_soc_devkit_ghrd/software/bootloader/u-boot-socfpga/arch/arm/mach-socfpga/cv_bsp_generator/hps.py"


Then replace the unicode with str, for e.g.:

from

...( unicode("const u8 sys_mgr_init_table[] = {\n"))...


to

...( str("const u8 sys_mgr_init_table[] = {\n"))...


From my last experience these two seem to be the only issue I faced last time, it should be good after.


Thanks for your feedback! Yeah we are investigating the Python version for this and will fix the issue for future versions. We apologize for any inconvenience.



p/s: If any answer from the community or Intel Support are helpful, please feel free to give best answer or rate 4/5 survey.

Hi,


Can you find the file mentioned in the error, hps.py you can locate it as mentioned in the error, the directory.


In the hps.py in the line "537" change it to this and re-try:

print ("***Error:Found unexpected HPS child node:%s" % childNode.nodeName)
