Installing and Booting a Pre-Built Linux Kernel
Installing and Booting a Pre-Built Linux Kernel

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

Run A10 Virtual Platform

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.
