Hi,
I'm using a Atlas-Soc (DE0-Nano-SoC) from the altera university program. It has a Cyclone V FPGA with a HPS in-built.
I usually connect to the Linux running on HPS through serial terminal (PuTTY). But in some cases as soon as i program the FPGA the terminal turns unresponsive. Any input I give doesn't reach the HPS.
This behavior can also be clearly seen on the Board. There are red and green lights to indicate RX and TX on the serial port on the board. Once the terminal turns unresponsive, any key stroke will flash the red led (TX led) but the Green Led doesn't flash indicating that there is no response from the HPS side.
Can anyone pls explain why this is happening? I'm also attaching the QSYS system and the FPGA code

So you're booting the HPS first to Linux before configuring the FPGA. What method are you using to program the FPGA at this point? Are you just using the Quartus Programmer or maybe a bare metal application to have the HPS program the FPGA?

Yes, I'm booting the HPS first to Linux before configuring the FPGA. The HPS boots as soon as i power the device, is there a way to stop this or postpone the boot process?
I'm using the JTAG Quartus programmer to program the FPGA.

Hi,
Have you try enabling the bridges?
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/support/support-resources/knowledge-base/embedded/2016/how-and-when-can-i-enable-the-fpga2sdram-bridge-on-cyclone-v-soc.html
I would also suggest you check this link, which have a lot of information on Programming FPGA, Booting Linux etc2:
https://rocketboards.org/foswiki/Main/GettingStarted
Select Cyclone V> your Quartus version> topic that you are interested in.
Regards.
