Need Help with Customizing RSYOCTO Project to Add NVDLA to the Project

Hi @robseb, My name is Qazi Shahid Ullah and I am an electrical Engineer, working as Research Assistant at National University of Science and Technology (NUST), Islamabad Pakistan.
I have gone through your project (Rsyocto), I think it is very good platform for SoC and Embedded system students to use as starting point for their projects.
I am trying to port NVDLA (NVIDIA's open source Neural Network Accelerator) on Intel FPGA (Han pilot Platform). I want to make use of rsyocto project as a starting point for this and customize the project to add NVDLA to the project.
I hope I will get help from this platform as I move on with the project.

As the first step I have download the .qar file ( archived project file ) for Han Pilot Platform and tried to compile the project using Qaurtus prime (18.1 standrad). While opening Qsys system in Platform Designer, I am getting following errors.

Error 1: add_fileset_file: No such file F:/Qazis_documents/FPGA_Boards/Han_Piolt_Platform/rsyocto-rsYocto-1.042/Han_pilot_platform/projects/prj001/HANrsyocto_restored/IP/sevenSigDisplay/sevenSigDispaly.sv

I have the IP folder and it doesn't contain folders with name "sevenSigDisplay and" and "HAN_FanControll" as indicated in the errors. Could you (@robseb ) look into this issue.

Hello qaziullah,
I reuploaded the Soft-IP for the HAN Pilot Quartus Prime project.
Now you can inport this IP to your Intel Quartus Prime project.

@robseb, I have included the IP files in the project but some of the connections of fancmd IP are not done, especially the connection with ARIA10 HPS is not done. I am attaching the screenshot. Let me if this needs any changes.

I can not find any issue. The fan cmd IP AVALON Port is not connected to the HIPS to reduce the required memory space. However, the fan speed and temperature control will work properly.

Hi @robseb,

I was trying to install a kernel module driver (kmd) but got error while building the kmd.

when I entered command "sudo depmod " it says that
depmod: WARNING: could not open modules.order at /lib/modules/5.7.0-altera: No such file or directory
depmod: WARNING: could not open modules.builtin at /lib/modules/5.7.0-altera: No such file or directory.

Could you look into it.
