TEI0022 Wrong Github Repository in Wiki

In the Wiki page there is a typo:

https://wiki.trenz-electronic.de/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=94489182

Kernel generation

This guide leads through the kernel generation task.

    Create a new folder in a known existing folder via mkdir software
    Change into the new folder via cd software
    Clone the git repository via git clone https://github.com/altera-opensource/linux-sodfpga.git

It should refer to ...socfpga... and not ...sodfpga...

Correct Github repository:
https://github.com/altera-opensource/linux-socfpga.git

Then also under Kernel generation:

Quote
Select one of the tags and check it out via git checkout rel_socfpga-<selection>

The wiki page is not very helpful here and outdated. I first chose a new version and it was too new. Then I guessed an older version and maybe it was too old.  What version was used when the WIKI page was written?

The version "rel_socfpga-4.14.126-ltsi-rt_19.12.01_pr" should work.


We currently work on an update where we use yocto project. In the meantime i would recommend to using the manual from Arrow Electronics for the TEI0022 board:

    Main page: https://github.com/ArrowElectronics/data-storm-daq/wiki
    Starting point for Golden System Reference Design: https://github.com/ArrowElectronics/data-storm-daq/wiki/Golden-System-Reference-Design-(GSRD)

I think with this guide you will have more success at the moment.

Hi Thomas,

thank you for the reply as well as your email.

Thanks for the rectification and confirmation of the socfpga file.

Glad to hear you are transitioning to Yocto.

Kind Regards
Fritz
