We have an Arria 10 SoC dev brd (p/n: 6XX-44382R-OM s/n: 10ASXSoC002854), which boots fine using the factory provided SD card (& FPGA image). However, attempts to replace the socfpga.rbf on the SD card with Released Binaries result in the following message “emif_reset interrupt acknowledged”, followed by a system reset and reloading of the FPGA, then ‘wash-rinse-repeat’.
I’ve tried all the Release Binaries for the Arria 10 SoC dev board: 17.1, 17.0 and 16.1. My method was to mount the SD/USB adapter to my dev Host, replace the factory image with the different version, reinstall on dev board, power-on an observe the terminal window for a successful boot sequence.
I’ve also tried rebuilding the GSRD design in 17.1, then loading the rbf on the SD, again without success.
Shouldn’t the Release Binaries just work?
Is the loaded bitstream verified somehow during u-boot?
Is there a version check performed? The stdout below suggests there’s a CRC checkout performed; on what?
Shouldn’t I be able to rebuild the GSRD design and load the bitstream?
