hps_debug.sof file generation - hps_debug.sof file generation Hi, I am currently working on the GSRD for an Htile S10 - Stratix 10 SoC H-Tile GSRD | Documentation | RocketBoards.org I am working on building the SD Card version, and hit a snag during the GHRD. After following the steps referenced in the GSRD and using the git files from the following - https://github.com/altera-opensource/ghrd-socfpga I have generated each of the output files " ghrd_1sx280hu2f50e1vgas.sof - FPGA SOF file, without HPS FSBL ghrd_1sx280hu2f50e1vgas_hps_debug.sof - FPGA SOF, with HPS Debug FSBL ghrd_1sx280hu2f50e1vgas.pr_partition_0.rbf - PR bitsream for the baseline persona alternate_persona.pr_partition_0.rbf - PR bitstream for the alternate persona " except for the "ghrd_1sx280hu2f50e1vgas_hps_debug.sof", which is needed in the next step "building core rbf". I have come to the conclusion that it is because my build is not generating a file called "hps_debug.ihex". I am wondering why this file is not being generated. I was more confident that the problem was this .ihex file when I came across this archive - Index of /ghrd_release/stratix10/ (rocketboards.org) specifically the htile_devkit_ghrd from 12-NOV-2022, which includes this missing "hps_debug.ihex" file, and when running the scrub, generate and make all commands, generating the "debug.sof" file perfectly. When I add this .hex file into my design it also runs perfectly. What am I missing? Overall my goal is to get this default git build from the GSRD H-tile to generate the "hps_debug.sof" so I can continue. Replies: Re: hps_debug.sof file generation Hi All, If this occurs to anyone, please note that the work around I have been using is to run this command... quartus_pfg -c -o hps_path=software/hps_debug/hps_debug.ihex output_files/ghrd_1sx280hu2f50e1vgas.sof output_files/ghrd_1sx280hu2f50e1vgas_hps_debug.sof Please note that you need the .ihex file I mentioned which can be obtained from the link in the first question on this thread.

Beyond that I am only able to create it while using the 1sx280hu2f50e1vgas board specified, none of the others. Weird. Thank you for your help. I will let you know if I have any more concerns.

To make it clear, I try to make sure my quartus and nios2_command_shell.sh version used is the same as the GSRD. Make sure executing all the steps from Setting up Environment & Building the Hardware Design Do let me know if there is any problems. Thanks.

Thanks Replies: Re: hps_debug.sof file generation Hi james57 , I have tried to build that part and I also dont have the ghrd_1sx280hu2f50e1vgas_hps_debug.sof in my output files. I will try to check with the team regarding this. Thanks.
