All steps to format / setup a bootable SD card can only be performed within a Linux installation.
(Windows Subsystem for Linux is not capable to format a SD card)

Soweit ist das folgende wohl überflüssig, da schon erwähnt auf den Seiten zuvor:--------------
An installation of INTEL SoC FPGA EMBEDDED DEVELOPMENT SUITE, so the tools
bsp-editor, alt-boot-disc-util and SoC EDS Command Shell are present.

...

• Boot ROM
   - Hard coded into the chip
   - It's purpose is to detect the selected boot source
   - Perform minimal Setup of the HPS
   - Load the next Boot stage [Preloader / u-boot-spl] into the On chip RAM [OCRAM]
      therefore the preloader / SPL u-boot is limited to 64 kByte on Cyclone 5 devices
  
  
• Preloader
   - Perform additional HPS initialization
   - Bring up SDRAM
   - Load the next boot stage from Flash to SDRAM and jump to it
   - Preloader-optins:
          u-boot - SPL
          SoC EDS - MPL [Altera bare-metal libraries - HWLibs]
   - For Cyclone 5 devices, the preloader consists of 4 identical copies. each 64 kB in size,
      256 kb in total
   - When generating the preloader, it can be necessary to manually add a header and checksum
     into the binary, the tool mkpimage can perform these additions
  
  
• Main Bootloader
   - Load Linux [u-boot] or Bare Metal Application into the RAM
   - Jump to it.
     In case of Linux, load Kernel, followed by the loading of the Linux rootfs
   - When generating the preloader, it can be necessary to manually add a header and checksum 
     into the binary, the tool mkimage can perform these additions
