Hi - followed the link below to create an image for Arria 10 on Ubuntu 20.04LTS:

# BSP meta-layer for Intel (*ALTERA*) SoC-FPGAs (*SoCFPGAs*) and the *Yocto Project* 

**With this layer the board support package (BSP) for *ARM* based *Intel (ALTERA) SoC-FPGAs (SoCFPGA)* is added to the *Yocto Project*.** <br>
**It can bring with the *rstools* useful tools to interact with the FPGA fabric (e.g. Changing the FPGA configuration or accessing all ARM AXI Bride interfaces).** <br>
**In addition, is the ARM Development Studio (*DS-5*) *Streamline* Server [*gator*](https://github.com/ARM-software/gator) included.**

Usually the *Yocto Project* can generate all required components (*rootfs*, *device tree*, bootloaders,...) to boot up a final embedded Linux. But this is not compatible with [Intel's Boot flow](https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/an/an709.pdf).
This Bootflow uses the Intel *Embedded Design Suite* (*EDS*) to build the device tree and all necessary bootloaders. 

For that reason, I designed a version that is compatible with *Intel's* development tools.  
This includes the board specific *u-boot-* and device tree-generation and the support for only the *.tar.gz*-file type for the *rootfs*. 

I used this layer to build [*rsyocto*](https://github.com/robseb/rsyocto), an open source embedded Linux Distribution for Intel SoC-FPGAs, by myself. 
The flexibility of my own [**rsyocto build system**](https://github.com/robseb/rsyocto#build-system-for-generation-of-custom-rsyocto-flavors) allows you to use it for your own projects with your custom embedded Linux.

Adding the following lines to /conf/local.conf does not allow to create correctly the image:

MACHINE =“arria10”
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = “linux-altera”
PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-altera = “6.1%”
GCCVERSION = “linaro-4.9”
SDKGCCVERSION = “linaro-4.9”
DEFAULTTUNE = “cortexa9hf-neon”
IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " gator "
IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " statusfpga mselfpga readbridgesfpga writebridgefpga "

These are the errors:

ERROR: /home/gachaconr/poky/meta-intelfpga/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-altera_6.0.bb: Unable to get checksum for linux-altera SRC_URI entry socfpga_defconfig: file could not be found
ERROR: Parsing halted due to errors, see error messages above
ERROR: /home/gachaconr/poky/meta-intelfpga/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-altera_5.8.bb: Unable to get checksum for linux-altera SRC_URI entry socfpga_defconfig: file could not be found

Can you please help me solving this issues?

Thanks in advance,
Gus
