hps-fpga problems with makefile error: #error You must define soc_cv_av or soc_a10 before compiling with HwLibs

[jlats2]

Hello,

I am having issues making my C file with the EDS editor. I am using 18.1 . My goal is to compile my C code with the below make file. However, whenever I attempt to run the make file, I get the following error:

$ make

C:/intelFPGA/18.1/embedded/ip/altera/hps/altera_hps/hwlib/include/hwlib.h:56:2: error: #error You must define soc_cv_av or soc_a10 before compiling with HwLibs

 #error You must define soc_cv_av or soc_a10 before compiling with HwLibs

I have read some forum posts which suggest to include this in the make file:

ALT_DEVICE_FAMILY = soc_cv_av

however, this has not helped me.

Any suggestions?

Here is my make file:

# TARGET = my_first_hps-fpga   CROSS_COMPILE = arm-linux-gnueabihf- CFLAGS = -static -g -Wall -I${SOCEDS_DEST_ROOT}/ip/altera/hps/altera_hps/hwlib/include LDFLAGS = -g -Wall CC = $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc ARCH= arm     build: $(TARGET) $(TARGET): main.o $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) $^ -o $@ %.o : %.c $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $< -o $@   .PHONY: clean clean: rm -f $(TARGET) *.a *.o *~

and here is the top portion of my c file:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <unistd.h>

#include <fcntl.h>

#include <sys/mman.h>

#include "hwlib.h"

#include "socal/socal.h"      

#include "socal/hps.h"      

#include "socal/alt_gpio.h"   

#include "hps_0.h"

Thank you,

James

Have you checked out the example projects included with your Demo Board? It may be a simple syntax error.

According to the documentation, the makefile should contain:

#

TARGET = my_first_hps-fpga

#

ALT_DEVICE_FAMILY ?= soc_cv_av

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

​I was suspicious of a typo myself at first. Fortunately my demo board (de0 nano SOC) provides a make file and main.c file which I have been using so I don't think that I have any typos.

I'm wondering if it has something to do with the version of EDS that I am using. I think the de0 nano board came out on version 13.1 so I might try downloading that to see if it helps any. But I feel like there must be a way to make it work for EDS version 18.1 (and later). Do you have any other suggestions?

Thank you,

James

Hi ,

Can you please try to use the sample make file given in the answer in the below forum post, change it as per your needs and let us know the results.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply AnilA.

So I did see that forum post in the past and when I tried it, it did not work for me. However, this time whenever I tried it, I moved my make file and main.c file into the directory structure of my 18.1 EDS and now it seems to work. I still need to load the executable into the fpga to verify results. Does this seem reasonable to you? I would think that I should be able to run makefiles in any folder that I can navigate EDS into. What are your thoughts?

C:\intelFPGA\18.1\embedded\ is where the Embedded_Command_Shell.bat

C:\intelFPGA\18.1\embedded\hps-c is where my make file and main.c fileare

see the below screen shot:

Just a follow up, I was able to load the binary onto the de0 soc board and control the FPGA LEDS from the HPS (so cool!).

I have no idea whey the EDS is so picky, but maybe this is just one of those 'tips and tircks' to keep in mind.

Thanks,

James
