Prerequisites
Install A10 VirtualPlatform as instructed in
Installing Altera Arria 10 SoC Virtual Platform.
Download the Prebuilt Linux Kernel
Open a console and go to the directory where your virtual platform is installed:
cd <PATH_TO_VP_INSTALL>
At the Linux prompt, type the following command to download the Arria 10 SoC Virtual Platform Linux images:
wget --no-cache http://rocketboards.org/foswiki/pub/Documentation/Arria10SoCVPLinux/\
linux-arria10swvp-socfpga-3.10-ltsi-angstrom-v2014.12.tgz
Uncompress the tgz file by typing the following command:
tar xvzf ./linux-arria10swvp-socfpga-3.10-ltsi-angstrom-v2014.12.tgz
This command creates the following files in the
./Software/arria10/linux/ folder:
- linux-system-sd.elf: contains the Linux kernel image
- sd-angstrom-v2014.12-arria10swvp.img: contains the root file system
To run the Arria 10
SoC Virtual Platform with the default pre-built Linux binaries, type the following command:
cd <PATH_TO_VP_INSTALL>
./run.exe
After the command runs, an Ångström prompt appears. User
root as username and no password to login.
