Executing a application/executable file on customized boot image for DE1SOC board

[snehal_p]

Hello,

I'm trying to execute a simple led switch application on customized boot image.

PFA screenshot of the error received.

Can anyone help me diagnose what the issue is?

Thanks,

Hi Snehal_p

The command I shared the first time is the wrong address, it got an additional zero.

Could you try it one more time? The address of the LED bank should be 0xff210008 instead of 0xFF2010008.

Let me try out your version of zImage and get back to you.

Hi

I have tried out your zImage and able to run the led application successfully.

Please find the screenshot below:

Did you flash the FPGA configuration before booting into the linux environment?

As for the fitter error, you will need to run both of the TCL script below (located:soc_system\synthesis\submodules):

hps_sdram_p0_parameters.tcl

hps_sdram_p0_pin_assignments.tcl

Hello Jingyang,

Thanks for the prompt support, fitter error solved.

Let me test with my zImage, actually problem occurs while executing the application file

Can you try executing hps led hex demostration using my zImage

Thanks,

Hi snehal_p

Sorry for the late reply.

Yes I did tried running the led hex demonstration on your zImage and it was successfull.

Maybe you could try sending me your copy of the led hex demonstration binary? and I will try it out on my board here.

Hello Jingyang,

Hi Snehal_p

I tried running your application and zImage, there are able to run without crashing.

However I notice that the application is not able to bling the led on the board.

You are working on a DE1SOC or DE0-Nano-Soc?

The link that you shared is using a DE0-Nano-Soc.

Could you share me the source of your application and your quartus image?

To check if you are accessing the correct memory address for the led.

That is weird.

Could you try to print out the environmental variable " SOCEDS_DEST_ROOT"?

Hello Jingyang,

I'm facing issues with the booting process.

zImage and rootfs I'm using are readily available from rocketsboard link.

PFA screenshots one with zImage for 3.10ltsi receiving garbage value after starting kernel and for original terasic console it is getting stuck after starting kernel 

Thanks,

Hi Snehal

Could you try upgrading your version of Quartus? I see that your quartus version is quite old, the latest version now is 22.1.

Which version of rootfs you are using? Could you try using the rootfs from the GSRD as well?

Regards

Jingyang, Teh

[snehal_p]

Hello Jingyang,

I'm using the readily available images

• zImage is present in location “SDCard_Booting/CycloneVSoC-examples-master/SD-operating-system/Angstrom-v2013.12/Files_to_build_SD_DE1-SoC/zImages/Original Terasic Console/zImage”
• Root File System is present in location “SDCard_Booting/CycloneVSoC-examples-master/SD-operating-system/Angstrom-v2013.12/Files_to_build_SD_DE1-SoC/Angstrom-console-rootfs.tar.gz”
