Bootloader - ArrowElectronics/Reconfigurable-Industrial-Robotics-Platform GitHub Wiki

Building the preloader (u-boot-spl)

1. Open a Quartus Embedded Command Shell:
   ~/intelFPGA_lite/18.1/embedded/embedded_command_shell.sh

2. Open the bsp-editor to generate the BSP:
   bsp-editor&

   • From the drop-down menu, do File -> New IPS BSP.
   • In the Preloader settings directory, navigate to the hardware handoff folder system_bd_sys_hps, then clik OK.

   This opens the BSP Editor.

   • Select the spl.boot option you desire. SDMMC is selected by default. I am using BOOT_FROM_QSPI.
   • Use the Advanced settings to select other options like disabling the Watchdog, if desired.
   • Click Generate, then Exit.

3. Back in the embedded command shell, cd directory to the spl_bsp folder to compile the BSP.

   cd /home/soceds/najiCMR/quartus_project/software/spl_bsp/
   make
