CF 06:27 PM Software Development: Build Preloader failed in Windows 10
Hello,
We used to be able to build preloader in Windows 7 environment. However, not any more after we upgraded to Windows 10. Same u-boot package and same build procedures. So we think the OS change might be the course for the failur...

I will do that.
Thank you very much Dan.

Hi Dario,
You could also try using the "sync" linux command after you copy the rbf over. That should flush anything out to the SD card. I normally do a sync and a reboot after updating the RBF. Seeing as the filesystem is read/write d...

Hi Dan,
Don't worry, I really appreciate your help.
Yes, running “reboot” works and it is the only way to change the FPGA configuration without rebooting the system multiple times. Indeed, even if I change the rbf and then I turn the ...

Hi Dario,
My apologizes for the later reply, it was a long holiday weekend in the states.
So by running "reboot" after copying over the RBF fixed your problem?

Hi Dan,
thank you very much for helping me with this problem.
Attacched you can find the boot logs for the three cases required.
The checksum verification it is ok by comparing the linux checksum with the PC file. Instead there is no ...

DV 05:08 PM FPGA Development: RE: FPGA programming problems
Hi Dario,
Thank you for the bootlog and answering my questions.
If you are seeing the yellow led toggle in u-boot then the FPGA is reloaded from what is on the file system. There is a small chance that the file system didn't fully ...

DR 07:59 AM FPGA Development: RE: FPGA programming problems
Hi Dan,
yes, I still have the multiple boots problem.
1) I'm not changing the SDRAM bridge configuration between builds. I'm only changing the vhdl code.
2) If I copy a new rbf file and reboot the system, the fpga will be programmed w...

DV 01:01 PM FPGA Development: RE: FPGA programming problems
Hi Dario,
If you are still seeing it take multiple boots to load the "new" rbf from u-boot then it shouldn't be a device-tree issue. Also if you're using u-boot to program it will handle opening the correct bridges, so those warnings ...

DR 08:18 AM FPGA Development: RE: FPGA programming problems
I checked the preloader and uboot and are updated. I noticed that in the bootlog the bridges are not initialized:
altera_hps2fpga_bridge soc:fpgabridge@0: fpga bridge [hps2fpga] registered as device hps2fpga
altera_hps2fpga_bridge so...

DR 07:07 PM FPGA Development: RE: FPGA programming problems
Hi Mike,
thank you for the detailed answer. I don’t used interruputs and UART or SPI, but I use the sdram bridge. The preloader should be updated (I will check it to be sure). I agree with you, it is better to change the rbf file and re...

MW 11:44 AM FPGA Development: RE: FPGA programming problems
Hi Dario,
In your FPGA project, did you modify any of the HPS peripheral settings over your standard load? For example, did you enable or disable a UART or SPI port, or change the SDRAM bridge configurations?
If you did, you will ...

DR 07:17 AM FPGA Development: FPGA programming problems
Hi,
I’m working with MitySOM-5CSX-H6-42A development kit and I would like to solve some annoying problems. After generating a new rbf file for programming the FPGA and uploading it to the SD card through sftp, it is necessary to reboot ...
