Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCHv2 1/2] configs/socfpga_agilex5_altera: new defconfig
Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2026 14:51:03 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109205104.2140273-1-dinguyen@kernel.org> (raw)
Build Linux, U-Boot, and TF-A for the Agilex 5 SoC Development Kit
from the QPDS 26.1.1 GSRD sources.
Signed-off-by: Dinh Nguyen <dinguyen@kernel.org>
---
v2:
- update commit header to configs/socfpga_agilex5_altera: new
defconfig
- rename the defconfig socfpga_agilex5_altera_defconfig
- Update the readme.txt to include a link to the Agilex5 PDK's
information, add notes about the 'dd' command
- Update socfpga_agilex5_altera_defconfig to match new defconfig
requirements
- Add to myself as a contact in DEVELOPERS

+Altera SoCFPGA Agilex 5 SoC Development Kit
+
+Intro
+=====
+
+This configuration builds a Linux system for the Agilex 5 SoC Development
+Kit (socfpga_agilex5_socdk) from the QPDS 26.1.1 Golden System Reference
+Design component versions:
+
+ https://github.com/altera-fpga/linux-socfpga QPDS26.1.1_REL_GSRD_PR
+ https://github.com/altera-fpga/u-boot-socfpga QPDS26.1.1_REL_GSRD_PR
+ https://github.com/altera-fpga/arm-trusted-firmware QPDS26.1.1_REL_GSRD_PR
+
+The HPS first-stage bootloader is packaged by Quartus into the FPGA
+configuration file. This defconfig builds the software that the HPS loads
+after that: U-Boot (u-boot.itb, with TF-A BL31), the kernel Image, the
+socfpga_agilex5_socdk device tree, and a root filesystem.
+
+The socfpga_agilex5_altera_defconfig supports the Agilex5 065B Premium
+development kit[1].
+
+[1] https://www.altera.com/products/devkit/po-3284/agilex-5-fpga-e-series-065b-premium-development-kit
+
+Build
+=====
+
+ make socfpga_agilex5_altera_defconfig
+ make
+
+output/images will contain:
+
+ Image
+ socfpga_agilex5_socdk.dtb
+ u-boot.itb
+ u-boot-spl-dtb.hex
+ bl31.bin
+ rootfs.ext2
+ rootfs.tar.gz
+ sdcard.img
+
+sdcard.img has a FAT boot partition (Image, device tree, u-boot.itb) and
+an ext4 root filesystem on the second partition.
+
+Creating a bootable SD card
+===========================
+
+Prepare the SD card with this command:
+
+ dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX
+
+Notes:
+ - replace 'sdX' with the actual device with your micro SDcard,
+ - you may need to be root to do that (use 'sudo')
+
+Program the HPS first-stage bootloader with Quartus, using
+output/images/u-boot-spl-dtb.hex as the HPS handoff file. Boot the HPS
+from the SD card. The serial console is ttyS0 at 115200 8n1.
+
+Copy a fabric configuration file named ghrd.core.rbf onto the FAT
+partition if the design needs the FPGA loaded before Linux starts. U-Boot
+skips that step when the file is absent.
