Kernel crash when uploading HPS Bridge code

1

Hello, all,

I have a basic Quartus project that controls the LEDs on the Arrow SoCKit based on the first 4 bits set on the HPS. However, whenever I try to upload the RBF file to the FPGA from the HPS, the kernel encounters an error and then the system locks up:

Could any of you guys please point me in the right direction as to why I can’t upload the code without the SoC freezing?

Your MSEL settings are correct? Did you load the .rbf from u-boot?

3

My MSEL is set to 01010. I used this script to upload the rbf file after creating it using quartus_cpf.

Hi. Just a question… how do you know that inout [39:0] hps_memory_mem_dq, is [39:0]? From where do I get this information!!

You hhave to fidn out teh procedure to vakludate the uploading hps bridge code which will be mange teh kernel from crash so it will be having te most of teh particular aspects which is going to make itaround the most of te part which will be hvaing the memory where this will enance through netgear technical support that will embeded the al concepts with the user .
