sopc2dts Errors

[greenlantern01]

These are the errors showing when I run the sopc2dts command. 

I am using DE10 Standard FPGA. I have stored dtb files earlier with the image file on an sdcard and the FPGA loads well. However, the dtb generated with this doesn't work with the image file. 

Kindly help resolve these.

Hi,

Which Quartus version are you working on?

The sopc2dts is not supported in newer version of Quartus.

For the latest bootloader build flow, please follow below (for SD card boot):

https://www.rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/BuildingBootloaderCycloneVAndArria10#Cyclone_V_SoC_45_Boot_from_SD_Card

Hello,

Thank you for directing to the newer version of the complete process. 

I have a few questions regarding it: 

1) How do I generate dtb/dts files for my own project?

2) The uboot used in the examples is for Intel Cyclone V SoC Development kit, can I use it for De10 Standard FPGA as well? Could you share link to the uboot for de10 standard fpga?  

3) Will this workflow work for working on de10 standard boards? 

I am finding it really hard to get hands over the required and most recent documents to start working.

I tried generating dts files with this command on SoC EDS Command Shell.

This is the error it shows me:

Also, I am using Quartus 23.1 version.

Hi,

For question 2: Yes, it is for the Dev Kit. But in the RBO steps:

https://www.rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/BuildingBootloaderCycloneVAndArria10#Cyclone_V_SoC_45_Boot_from_SD_Card

In the "U-boot" section, before running the:

make socfpga_cyclone5_qspi_defconfig

You can use the DE10's defconfig below:

https://github.com/altera-opensource/u-boot-socfpga/blob/socfpga_v2023.07/configs/socfpga_de10_nano_defconfig

https://github.com/altera-opensource/u-boot-socfpga/blob/socfpga_v2023.07/configs/socfpga_de10_standard_defconfig

For e.g, run:

make socfpga_de10_standard_defconfig

For question 3: Yes, this will use the DE10's standard U-boot config files and it's .dts:

Line 10: CONFIG_DEFAULT_DEVICE_TREE="socfpga_cyclone5_de10_standard"

Located (Standard):

https://github.com/altera-opensource/u-boot-socfpga/blob/socfpga_v2023.07/arch/arm/dts/socfpga_cyclone5_de10_standard.dts

For Nano:

https://github.com/altera-opensource/u-boot-socfpga/blob/socfpga_v2023.07/arch/arm/dts/socfpga_cyclone5_de10_nano.dts

These directory can be found in your U-boot folder, after you Git checkout in the first step in "U-boot" section.

For question 1: You need to refer to below, but that is also referring to the Dev Kit's:

https://www.rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/HOWTOCreateADevicetreeForCycloneVSoC

I hope these helps.
