max10m50c board boots with 3.18, we need to update the nios2 softcore on the board to boot with the 4.10 kernel.
Managed to build/boot Linux 4.10 on max10m50c board via u-boot/Ethernet. Both u-boot and Linux (with initramfs) were built using Yocto/poky and meta-altera. Will document the steps on wiki pages. root@10m50:~# uname -a Linux 10m50 4.10.0-altera #4 Fri Jul 14 16:02:48 PDT 2017 nios2 GNU/Linux root@10m50:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo CPU: Nios II/fast MMU: present FPU: none Clocking: 75.00 MHz BogoMips: 150.00 Calibration: 75000000 loops HW: MUL: yes MULX: no DIV: yes Icache: 32kB, line length: 32 Dcache: 32kB, line length: 32 TLB: 16 ways, 256 entries, 8 PID bits
I am closing this as RESOLVED/FIXED as the main objective (booting 4.10 kernel on MAX10m50C board) has been accomplished.
