7.2.2. Building the Hardware Projects

Create four different hardware projects, based on the GHRD from GitHub with a few changes:
  • Change the boot mode to FPGA first
  • Use a different ID in the SystemID component, to make the binaries for each project slightly different.
  • Change the behavior of watchdog timeout, to trigger an RSU event.
  • Set the max retry parameter to 3, so that each application image and the factory image are tried up to three time when configuration failures occur.
The commands to create and compile the projects are listed below:
cd $TOP_FOLDER
# compile hardware designs: 0-factory, 1,2-applications, 3-factory update
rm -rf hw && mkdir hw && cd hw
wget https://github.com/altera-opensource/ghrd-socfpga/archive/\
ACDS-21.1pro-20.1std.zip
unzip ACDS-21.1pro-20.1std.zip
mv ghrd-socfpga-ACDS-21.1pro-20.1std/agilex_soc_devkit_ghrd .
rm -rf ghrd-socfpga-ACDS-21.1pro-20.1std ACDS-21.1pro-20.1std.zip

After completing the above steps, the following SOF files are created:
  • hw/ghrd.0/output_files/ghrd_agfb014r24a3e3vr0.sof
  • hw/ghrd.1/output_files/ghrd_agfb014r24a3e3vr0.sof
  • hw/ghrd.2/output_files/ghrd_agfb014r24a3e3vr0.sof
  • hw/ghrd.3/output_files/ghrd_agfb014r24a3e3vr0.sof
