I was looking for bare metal examples on rocketboards and found this statement on the projects page:
--- Quote Start --- Please upload linux based projects only. Any non-Linux project will be deleted. --- Quote End --- Also, the home page says: --- Quote Start --- Accelerate development by exchanging ideas with the Linux community. --- Quote End --- Does anyone know why they've done this? It's not like there are a huge number of projects there. What's the big objection to bare metal? My next project is going to be bare metal. Why am I being pushed to use a Xilinx Zynq instead of an Altera SOC?Link Copied

Baremetal examples are available here:
http://www.altera.com/support/examples/soc/soc.html https://www.altera.com/download/soc-eds/rtos-tools.jsp For community designed bare metal designs the most appropriate place for those would be to post them to www.alterawiki.com- Mark as New

Thanks for the information I'll take a look at them. I thought there had to be some bare metal examples somewhere I just didn't know where. It might be nice to add those links to Rocketboards so that others who aren't looking for linux info can find them.

I agree so I told the person in charge of rocketboards that they should point users to those links when they display the "Linux only" type of messages.

From a SoC EDS shell, cd $SOCEDS_DEST_ROOT/embedded/examples/software You should be able to unzip the examples and build from the command line, or import them into DS-5 as projects.

Over time you'll probably see some baremetal examples up on www.alterawiki.com as well from others in the community posting useful projects.

I don't understand it either, particularly as vxWorks, FreeRTOS, and RTEMS are now becoming more involved in the SoC world. Rocketboards should really be a better repository with links to everything. Not to mention that building with Yocto is a significant learning curve on top of everything else for someone who is trying to learn firmware alone!

I happen to be looking into this right now but don't have an ETA of when things will change or what the changes will be (still figuring it out).
Since I don't know Yocto at all, is the material up on rocketboards missing some key pieces or is it just a big learning curve in general?
