Cyclone V SOC development kit boot up error with factory default settings - Cyclone V SOC development kit boot up error with factory default settings Hello, I am getting the following error with the Cyclone V SOC development kit on powering up. I made sure all the jumpers are set according to the user guide. This is what I am seeing on UART (Tera Term) terminal.

Thanks, Mohan Replies: Re: Cyclone V SOC development kit boot up error with factory default settings I am going through purgatory trying to get my brand new Cyclone V SOC Dev git to boot the Pre compiled Linux image. Any help is much appreciated. Do you still have a copy of the image that worked for you? Would you have at least an image of the board as configured and working? Including jumpers, DIPS and lights. I only have one board but have been around the loop numerous times with no progress Thanks Martin Replies: Re: Cyclone V SOC development kit boot up error with factory default settings Hi, We regret that you faced such issue, typically you can already boot the Cyclone V SoC Dev Kit board without any changes with the SD Card image or download prebuilt images from the rocketboards: https://releases.rocketboards.org/release/2019.10/gsrd/cv_gsrd/ Alternatively you can build your own: https://rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/BuildingBootloader#Cyclone_V_SoC_and_Arria_V_SoC Replies: Re: Cyclone V SOC development kit boot up error with factory default settings I solved the problem. There was something wrong with the SD Card image. I tried the factory recovery image & the image from rocketboards.org. They both did not work. We bought 2 boards at the same time and the second one booted up fine. I cloned the image and it worked on the first board. It's unfortunate that you don't a repository of the correct images. Replies: Re: Cyclone V SOC development kit boot up error with factory default settings Yes, this is a brand new board. I used the SD image that is on the flash card placed on the board. When I tried to program the FPGA (factory default - system_max_RevE1.pof) it said "failed". I can see the components in JTAG chain. Do I need to set the SEL CON (three LEDS right next to CPU Rest) in mode 1? The board powers up with LED at 0 lighting up. Thank you for your help. Replies: Re: Cyclone V SOC development kit boot up error with factory default settings Hi, Is this board new? How about the image where did you get the image?
