HPS-FPGA Bridge enable

1

I have Arria 10 board. I follow the instructions on https://rocketboards.org/foswiki/view/Documentation/GSRD161ReleaseNotes to use sdram.img in http://releases.rocketboards.org/release/2016.10/gsrd/bin/linux-socfpga-gsrd-16.1-a10-bin.tar.gz and boot from SD card. After the kernel is up, following directories are empty:

/sys/class/fpga_bridge
/sys/class/fpga_region

I have checked the hardware jumpers are in correct place. dmesg shows:

root@arria10:/sys/class# dmesg | grep fpga
[ 2.022730] fpga_manager fpga0: SoCFPGA Arria10 FPGA Manager registered
[ 2.029685] fpga-region soc:base_fpga_region: FPGA Region probed
root@arria10:/sys/class#

Do you have any idea about the problem?

I guess the bridges are somehow missing/broken in your device tree or the bridge drivers aren’t built properly into your kernel.
I get the following messages on my Cyclone5 board:

Hello,
this thread is probably out-of-date, but the solution should be placed here for other users.
The problem is well known and the solution is described for example at this address:
https://forum.rocketboards.org/t/sys-class-fpga-bridge-empty/444/8
I hope, phuong and thaler had found this too.
