boot file generation using quartus 22.1 standard version

[snehal_p]

Hello,

We want to build boot image for customized cyclone V SoC board.

We are following the below document, using Quartus Prime 22.1 Standard Edition on Ubuntu 20.04 system,

https://www.rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/BuildingBootloaderCycloneVAndArria10#Appendix_45_Building_Linux_Binaries

 It is our observation that the FPGA is not being programmed by  the rbf file in the fat partition of the sd card.

Can you please share your suggestions/pointers on the above.

Thanks,

snehal_p

Hi ,

Sorry for the delay on this, checked with Joshua, and he will reply you on the solution. The cyclone V build steps in the rocketboard link above only boot HPS without doing the FPGA configuration.

Thanks

Hi,

Your observation is right and we will be fixing this in next update which will be going to Altera FPGA Developer Site.

For now, I suggest the following changes to the steps .

1. For building hardware section (under the "Get the hardware design from github and compile it:") steps,

you may add :

make rbf

2. For creating sdfs partition in SDcard, add the steps in "Prepare FAT partition:" to include the soc_system.rbf and u-boot.scr file :

cp $TOP_FOLDER/cv_soc_devkit_ghrd/output_files/soc_system.rbf .
wget https://releases.rocketboards.org/2025.03/gsrd/c5_gsrd/u-boot.scr

While the Building Bootloader page for Cyclone V is not available yet, you may view the GSRD (25.1 as at time of writing) at https://altera-fpga.github.io/rel-25.1/embedded-designs/cyclone-v/sx/soc/gsrd/ug-gsrd-cve-soc/ 

Hope this helps. Please reach out if you are still facing challenges on this.

Regards,

Joshua.
