Next Steps for Booting HPS on DE1-SoC Board After Generating Pre loader and U-Boot

I have the following files for the DE1-SoC board related to HPS:

  • Preloader: preloader.bin
  • U-Boot: uboot.scr, boot.txt, uboot.image
  • Device Tree: socfpga.dts, socfpga.dtb

After generating the preloader and U-Boot, what are the next steps for booting the HPS on the DE1-SoC board? Any guidance on proper configuration or additional modifications required would be appreciated.

Hi

Sorry for the delay, 

 

For the steps , you could refer to the cyclone V devkit building bootloader guide (https://www.rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/BuildingBootloaderCycloneVAndArria10) even though you have DE1 - SoC  board. 

Only a few things that you need to take note of:

1. You don't need to use the ghrd here because this is Altera dev kit . Instead you should download the ghrd example from Terasic website for DE1- SoC (under CD image if not mistaken) and build accordingly

2. To build the uboot, you need to specify which board you're building (highlighted in yellow) .  I saw that you already have the uboot build, do you have other files specified in the guide 

eg( make socfpga_de1_soc_defconfig  , also remember to edit or port the changes from the dts/dtb file you have into socfpga_cyclone5_de1_soc.dts (and dtb))

Hi,

 

As we do not receive any response from you on the previous question/reply/answer that we have provided and we do advise to use the latest document guide to do the software generation and programming as the older guides uses obsolete tools which we no longer support and incompatible with the latest software versions that we have. Please login to ‘https://supporttickets.intel.com/s/?language=en_US’, view details of the desire request, and post a feed/response within the next 15 days to allow me to continue to support you. After 15 days, this thread will be transitioned to community support. The community users will be able to help you on your follow-up questions.

 

Thanks

Regards
