Hello Claudio, Sry I have not knowledge about that, but I have not seen any code that actually das the checking, it always writes the *rbf-file on boot. Maybe a look into the Linux Kernel src code inside the fpga_manager for the altera FPGAs might have something so you can extend u-boot with your needed functionality.

Basically determine if the fpga images survive a warm reboot. Do you know if there is already a function in uboot to check if periph and/or core images are loaded into fpga.

My personal guess is that Altera/Intel never pushed proper support into the official u-boot mainline. Even there master-branch (https://github.com/altera-opensource/u-boot-socfpga/tree/master) does not work. For "just a user" it is very frustrating getting a new board abut have to use old software. And it seems Intel does not care in providing documentation, up-to-date software or maintaining the released code. For example if you look closer into the source code in the socfpga_v2014.10_arria10_bringup-branch there is a module called cff which loads the rbf-file in early release mode. I could not find anything similar in the latest branches(neither from denx not altera). Also the images generated from the latest releases generates not the proper format needed to boot from an Arria10. So for my needs I used (https://github.com/altera-opensource/u-boot-socfpga/tree/socfpga_v2014.10_arria10_bringup) which is the version used in the Altera/Intel tools But changed it to my needs (loading rbf-file, kernel and devicetree from EXT, setting u-boot environment to my needs etc.) I compile everything with the toolchain from yocto V2.4. and so far it works good. My changes are made public here(https://github.com/nanosurf-ag/u-boot-socfpga) but this might still subject to change. Hope this helps dan _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de https://lists.denx.de/listinfo/u-boot
