bare-metal application on cyclone IV - bare-metal application on cyclone IV I have de0-nano SOC development kit and want to write bare-metal application on this board )where I can write a C code for ARM core which will interface my IP on FPGA). Apparently Quartus Lite is not enough to do that, so which additional software do I need to get ARM programmed? is it free for educational purposes? please link a thorough documentation or video tutorials for me, as I'm just getting started with bare-metal and embedded Linux for intel SoC, I have done those in Xilinx SoCs so references from xilinx would be easily understandable. n.b. there are some documents on those topics but I would like to hear your recommendations. #bare-metal #linux #SDK #EDK Replies: Re: bare-metal application on cyclone IV I’m glad that your question has been addressed, I now transition this thread to community support. If you have a new question, feel free to open a new thread to get the support from Intel experts. Otherwise, the community users will continue to help you on this thread. Thank you. Replies: Re: bare-metal application on cyclone IV yes, that is cyclon V, my mistake. i'm getting this SoC EDS tool right now, standard version : SoCEDSSetup-20.1.0.711-windows.exe interestingly, pro version was named: ideaIC-15.0.2.exe )) regarding rocketboards, i will definitely check that afterwards. thanks for your time Replies: Re: bare-metal application on cyclone IV Hello Tsotne, The https://rocketboards.org/ provides some documents and information regarding Cyclone V SoC. For example, please see the following sites which provides how to build SPL/U-Boot and Linux Kernel using open source toolchain. Cyclone V SoC GSRD https://rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/CycloneVSoCGSRD Building Bootloader for Cyclone V and Arria 10 https://rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/BuildingBootloaderCycloneVAndArria10 Thanks, Replies: Re: bare-metal application on cyclone IV I think you mean Cyclone V in your title. There was no Cyclone IV SoC. You need to download and install the SoC EDS (DS-5) along with Quartus to be able to write and run bare metal applications.
