fm4dd / 20170121 Converting Terasic DE0-SoC to Ubuntu 1604.md
Last active October 6, 2024 10:11
Converting the Terasic DE0-SoC FPGA development board from Yocto Linux to full Ubuntu 16.04

1. Introduction

The goal is to upgrade the Linux on Altera's DE0-Nano-SOC FPGA development board. To challenge us even further, the board confusingly also branded as the Atlas SoC board. The boards provided Linux version is from 2013, woefully outdated, and a stripped-down version. It comes with busybox instead of full commands, lacks all local development tools, and is requiring off-system cross-compiling.
