Page History

This step chapter guides through the tasks which have to be done inside the Intel SoC Embedded Development Suite. As mentioned in page "Board bring-up overview for TEI0022" this step is for preloader and bootloader generation which should be done in the following three stepssections:

• Preparation
• Preloader/Bootloader Generationgeneration
• Device Tree Generationgeneration

The section "Preparation" describes preparing steps which are necessary for the generation of the preloader and the bootloader which is described in section "Preloader/Bootloader Generationgeneration". After that in section "Device Tree Generationgeneration" the steps to create the device tree blob is explained.

Preparation

While Intel Quartus Prime project compilation, described on page Intel Quartus Prime Project, folder "hps_isw_handoff" is created which is now needed to generate via the bsp-editor further output for preloader and bootloader generation. To do the preparation, follow the following guide:

• Start the SoC EDS Shell as administrator. To do that navigate to C:\intelFPGA\18.1\embedded\ , right click on the file "Embedded_Command_Shell.bat", and select "Run as administrator". Click Yes in the window "User Account Control".
• In the opened shell start the bsp-editor, as visible in the next figure, via: bsp-editor.exe

• In the opened bsp-editor select File → New HPS BSP...
• In the opened New BSP dialogue click onto ... and select the PlatformEditorHPS_hps_0 folder inside the hps_isw_handoff folder

...

• After generation, an information like Finished generation BSP files. Total time taken = ... seconds is displayed in the information tab. The folder software in the project path should now be available.
• Close the bsp-editor.

Preloader/Bootloader

generation

After this preparation, it is possible to generate the preloader and the bootloader inside the shell while following the guide:

...

The folder .../software/spl_bsp/uboot-socfpga should contain the files shown in the next figure.

Device Tree

generation

The device tree generation is a crucial part to tell the linux kernel which hardware has to be handled. To generate the device tree blob follow this guide:
