DE10-Nano kit problem

Hello! I’m trying to run Linux on DE10-NANO, I’m guided by these two sources https://bitlog.it/hardware/building-embedded-linux-for-the-terasic-de10-nano-and-other-cyclone-v-soc-fpgas/ and https://rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/EmbeddedLinuxBeginnerSGuide. When creating an SD card, and loading the following u-boot.img u-boot.scr files soc_system.dtb soc_system.rbf on it and then starting the system, you receive the following message:

The following line clearly shows that the FPGA is not configurable:

altera_load: Failed with error code -4

If I change this file to the original rbf file located in the “output” directory directory, then this error does not appear.

if I follow source 1, then I managed to start the system. the system displays the following messages after startup:

At the same time, it is impossible to enter any messages into the terminal. In this connection, I do not know why the system does not work with the new pbf file. And also there is a difficulty with Step Step 7.1 – Configuring Buildroot. Namely, trying to save the configuration the program seems to hang and from it you can not go out except if you close the terminal.

Can anything help?

Messages output to the terminal if I use rbf file in “output” directory:

With the problem of firmware FPGA, I figured out, the necessary checkbox was not set when I received the firmware file. But the problem with the hangup of the configuration window after saving and further actions to me so far are not clear until the end.

Window when saving the configuration file:

The problem with entering data into the terminal is solved. Minicom did not want to send data to the system. Through picocom it turned out to transfer commands and receive answers. However, I have one last question, no one has encountered the loading window of the configuration Buildroot or it is normal?
