Release Notes

GSRD

• A10 SoCFPGA GSRD has been updated to use ACDS 16.0 and SoC EDS 16.0
• GSRD's GHRD is the same as SoCEDS GHRD
• Supports Rev C board for Arria 10

Linux

This Linux BSP release supports the SoC Development Kit, and provides the following:

• Linux kernel v3.10 LTSi
• Drivers: I2C, LCD, EEPROM, RTC, Ethernet, USB (Host), Watchdog, SD/MMC, QSPI, DMA, FPGA Manager, and FPGA Bridges
• Boards: Cyclone V DevKit Rev E, Arria V DevKit Rev C
• U-Boot v2014.10

Preloader & U-Boot

It is highly recommended preloader and u-boot are built from the same commit.
