Replies: Re: preloader make error Hi, I am glad your issue is fixed, if you have any further questions on other topics , feel free to file a new case/question. Replies: Re: preloader make error thanks, I fix the problem. I unstalled Quartus and soc EDS16.0, then install Quartus18.1 and SoC EDS18.0. Replies: Re: preloader make error Hi, Most user usually refer to Rocketboards guide on the booting which has multiple topics on generating and compiling hardware design, preloader and u-boot etc. You may start here: https://rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/GSRDPreloader Also, I am seeing that you are working on Quartus ver 15.0? That is pretty old, I recommended that you refer to above link and follow the guide. And use the 18.1 std version of Quartus and SoC EDS at least. Let me know if you are still having trouble after following above guide or any questions.
