Error while running SPL debug bootloader script

Environment:  Ubuntu 20.04, Arm DS 2020 Standard, Quartus Prime 18.0 Standard, Terasic DE1-SoC dev kit.

Reference page:  https://rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/SoCEDS#Cyclone_V_Bare_Metal_Example_Using_SoC_EDS_Standard_Edition

Issue:  running the "debug-spl.ds" script noted in the link above (but tailored for the DE1-SoC dev kit), DS 2020 reports "ERROR(CMD360)...Wait for stopped timed out".  u-boot built successfully, as did the Quartus project which is based on a Terasic reference design.  I can run generic "hello world" programs, but cannot load the custom bootloader which allows access to the FPGA components.  debug-spl.ds script:

stop
wait 5s
reset
stop
wait 5s
set trust-ro-sections-for-opcodes off
loadfile \$sdir/u-boot-socfpga/spl/u-boot-spl 0x0
start
wait
restore \$sdir/u-boot-socfpga/spl/u-boot-spl.dtb binary &__bss_end
tbreak spl_boot_device
continue
wait 60s

From the DS 2020 Commands window:

You linked me to the same webpage I linked and followed in the original post.  Really?  After 2 months of waiting?

Hi,

The step I am referring to is to debug where it last stopped, did you try running the DS-5 step by step and check where it last stop is? Is it SDRAM.c etc? 

You may want to try with our GHRD image to see if this would boot:

I think I can help. Check out my written solution on my own post which had the same problem as you're having. Since you are using the DE1, not Cyclone V Development Kit, I bet it's the same problem as me. I was using the DE10-Nano. 

 

Let me know if I can clarify anything in my solution post for you. 

 

[Edit a few hours later: I noticed in your post that I misread, and that you did in fact tailor the process for your DE1-SoC kit. My fix might not be much use then. Did you you do all three steps? Hand-off, qts_filter, and the config?]

And just to be clear, in my post I linked above, I mention the Bare Metal User Guide, but go ahead and completely ignore that. What I typed as my solution applies to the SoCEDS example you linked as well. I reference this example in my post as well.
