Hello!
I’m trying to run Linux kernel 4.9.76-ltsi-rt from altera opensources with buildroot 2017.11 on MAX10 FPGA Development kit with NIOS II, but it’s fail.
After downloading the image to the qspi flash, the system doesn’t respond. No messages in console. I’m using manual from https://rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/AlteraMAX1010M50RevCDevelopmentKitLinuxSetupV170 The example from this manual works correctly.
Has anyone had such a problem? Can I debug the boot process (boot_loader_cfi.srec)?
I,m using:
Altera MAX10 10M50 Rev C development kit.
Quartus Prime Standart Edition 17.0
ACDS version 17.0
Sourcery CodeBench Lite 2017.05-4
kernel 4.9.76-ltsi-rt
rootfs buildroot 2017.11
Hello, wapster,
could I ask You about bootloader? Do You compile U-Boot with Buildroot or do You use the bootloader image from reference design? And what about Device Tree Blob? Do You build Linux kernel image with Buildroot or separately?
Best regards, Jan Konečný.
Thanks for the answer.
I use bootlodaer boot_loader_cfi as described in the reference design. No U-Boot.
I was able to start the kernel after adding .dts file to the configuration. At now the problem is that the system does not see qspi flash with jffs file system and rootfs. There is a kernel panic. What’s wrong?

Hello,
I am sorry, I am not experienced with Your bootloader. However I mentioned that there is no “status” property of QSPI node at DTS file. Are You sure that bootloader is configured to enable hardware connections for QSPI correctly?
Could I ask about the kernel building and its configuration as well as the configuration of Buildroot?
