- ZM 07:09 PM Software Development: RE: make_sd.sh doesn't take command line parameters
- Hi Max,
Apologies on the delay for your first question, my colleague who's more familiar with the DMA example is looking into that now. I'm not sure yet when we'll have an answer for you, but he is able to (intermittently) reproduce t... - MK 06:17 PM Software Development: RE: make_sd.sh doesn't take command line parameters

- Hello Zach,
Yesterday, we din't pay attention, but actually DMA test fails on Rx side. We run few times and it faild always in the same index.
We will try on other unit (we have 2), but do you have any idea why it can fail??

- Hi Max,
Thanks for the feedback, I can definitely see how in this case that wording was misleading. In general it is not mandatory (e.g., some device tree changes do not require an updated Image file), but I'll make a note to see if w...

- Hello Zach,
Just to clarify:
in this page: https://support.criticallink.com/redmine/projects/mitysom_a5/wiki/Linux_Kernel#gototop
they say:
after command: make -j 7 Image
The resulting Image file can be installed into the /boot d... - ZM 08:43 PM Software Development: RE: make_sd.sh doesn't take command line parameters
- Hi Max,
It's fine to have multiple folders in @/lib/modules@, although you could delete the yocto-standard one if you wanted to reclaim the storage space. Just be aware that if you do that for the kernel you're using by mistake, some ... - MK 08:10 PM Software Development: RE: make_sd.sh doesn't take command line parameters

We made some progress, but stuck again.
We followed the instructions in the pages:

Sorry, this was an issue with our documentation; you'll need to add an additional location to your @PATH@ environment variable.

- Hi Max,
Glad to hear the base design is working now! And no problem asking questions, most likely they'll help someone else too. :)

- Hello Zach,
Thanks again for your help.
So, I’m not sure what’s was wrong, but now we are able to create our own SD-Card image by compiling and building mitysom-a5e-ref-base.
But we’ve tried to do the same process with mitysom-a5e-r... - TC 09:38 PM FPGA Development: RE: Ethernet Interface for MitySOM-A5E
- Maxim: On availability, I'll reach out to work with you on this. We have some configurations available today and are working on building others.
- MF 05:41 PM FPGA Development: RE: Ethernet Interface for MitySOM-A5E
- Max,
That USB dongle should be fine. Our reference design SD card should have the drivers pre-installed for that to work.
In terms of production silicon, we are hoping to have them available sometime this summer for customers.

Do you have any idea, when the MitySOM-A5E with production device will be availabe?? - MK 03:57 PM FPGA Development: RE: Ethernet Interface for MitySOM-A5E
- Hello Mike,
Thank you so much for clarification and explanation.
For us the most convenient way will be to use USB-C to Ethernet Adapter. Can you please take a look and confirm that something like this will work:

- Hi Max,
If you are trying to use the SGMII Ethernet interface that goes to J19 on the board then this will not work due to limitations with Engineering Silicon.
In order to hook this up you need to enable GMII for FPGA in the HPS ... - Hello Sir/Madame,
I'm trying to add GbE IF to MitySOM-A5E (version: A5ED-B64-144-SRC-X)

- Hi Maxim,
Happy to help!
It looks like this is a case of the JIC and RBF files not matching.
In general, the JIC and RBF need to be both created from a project that has the same HPS I/O and clock settings. Altera documents this ... - MK 05:21 PM Software Development: RE: make_sd.sh doesn't take command line parameters

Let me please thank you for your time and support!!! We getting closer, but still have some issues...
We've got some progress.

In your case, you just need to put the RBF into it per the instructions in this wiki section... - MK 03:44 PM Software Development: RE: make_sd.sh doesn't take command line parameters

To make sure that we are building the correct way.

- ZM 07:53 PM Software Development: RE: make_sd.sh doesn't take command line parameters
- Thanks! The boot script (both boot.cmd and the compiled boot.scr) does have windows line endings, which I think unfortunately appears to be confusing U-Boot. The config_pll script appears to be okay, which I think rules out a git hook ch...
- MK 06:30 PM Software Development: RE: make_sd.sh doesn't take command line parameters
- Hello Zach!!
I've uploaded mitysom-a5e-ref-dma.tar.gz (1.29G) - I've compressed the whole folder.
We didn't changed the design and scripts.
Thanks!!! - ZM 06:11 PM Software Development: RE: make_sd.sh doesn't take command line parameters
- You're welcome!
The build seems to have partially worked since it was able to boot into U-Boot proper after the SPL, but past that it seems unable to load anything from the SD card for some reason.
Would it be possible for you to z... - MK 04:35 PM Software Development: RE: make_sd.sh doesn't take command line parameters

Just to mention, we compiled mitysom-a5e-ref-dma project.

Did the script produce sd_card.img.gz instead? You're giving it flags for both gzip (@-g@) and zip (@-z@), and gzip should be taking precedence.
If so and you didn't want that, you could either run @gunzi... - MK 03:38 PM Software Development: RE: make_sd.sh doesn't take command line parameters
