1.5. Installing and Booting a Pre-Built Linux Kernel

The following steps describe how to boot using the pre-built Linux kernel for the Arria® 10 SoC Virtual Platform provided on RocketBoards.org.

  1. Open a console and go to the directory where your virtual platform is installed: 
    cd <PATH_TO_VP_INSTALL_DIR>
  2. 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
  3. Uncompress the tgz file by typing the following command: 
    tar xvzf ./linux-arria10swvp-socfpga-3.10-ltsi-angstrom-v2014.12.tgz
    Note: 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
  4. To run the Arria® 10 SoC Virtual Platform with the default pre-built Linux binaries, type the following command: 
    cd <PATH_TO_VP_INSTALL_DIR>
./run.exe

    After the command runs, an Ångström prompt appears and you are in the root directory.
