Hi,
I appreciate that this my not be the right place for this post as its not technically an Altera product. I did try Reflex first but they just said they do not support Bare-Metal development & pointed me back at Altera. I have recently taken delivery of this board & I thought I'd start with a simple Bare-metal Hello World test. I took the same project that I had used on the Arria V SOC but built using the aria-10dk-oc-ram-hosted.ld linker script. I then updated the DS-5 debug config to use Arria 10 SOC/BareMetalDebug/Debug Cortex-A9 0. On trying to load the image over the USB-Blaster I got the following error: stopping running target altera - arria 10 soc on tcp:localhost on connectionconnected to running target altera - arria 10 soc on tcp:localhost
execution stopped in svc mode at s:0xc0021788

wait
In fact Ds-5 cant read any addresses in the oc-ram space. On checking further the only memory I seem to be able to access is 0xC0000000 – 0xEF7EFFFF (HPS-to-FPGA). Could this be a BootRom issue? Any help would be gratefully received.

I encountered the same problem. Did you solve it? Can you tell me the method?
