Hi everyone,
I am a newbie here and I really want to dig into FPGA-SoC field. Recently, I just bought a new Atlas-SoC board from Terasic ( Cyclone V ) and planned to build a bare metal application ( just blink some LEDs on the board or Hello world at first to get the concept and the working process ).
After a week, with a lots of effort and struggling, I managed to have my preloader, uboot and uboot script booted on the board. Now I just need a bare metal application to test. I downloaded EDS-SoC from Intel and tried to made few lines of code from a new project. The problem is all I have is an axf file and I don’t think it can be executed on the board. Then I knew about “fromelf” tool but it gave me an license error stating that it fails to check out a license ( although I activated my 30-days license ). My question is that if there is any ways else to work with this one. Or do I really have to a license ? Then I hope it is not too expensive because I am just a student ( and I learn those things by myself).
I am an Electrical Engineering student and mostly work on FPGA and microcontroller and want to step into embedded world. Therefore, these problems are kinda out of my level and I am not really a “software” guy. Hope someone can give some clues for my problem.
Cheers !
