I tried to run the bare metal script ("Hello World ANSI C Project - ARM Compiler 5 DS-5 built-in") on DS-5 debug software. However, it hangs on somewhere on "wait" commands as below which is not yet reached the breakpoint on main function. Notes, it could not even proceed to the "Step Over Instruction (F6)".
Commands:

Looking for helps :(
Hi Ronan,
Thanks for your recommendation. I have tried to run with startup_Cortex_A9_AC5-FVP and it is working fine.
By the way, File -> Import -> DS-5 -> Examples & Programming Libraries -> Examples -> Bare-Metal Boards- > Altera-Arria-10_RAM having the same problem like previous in my Arria 10 platform. Wondering why it could not run the Bare Metal Hello World? :(

It looks like there is no (writable) memory at 0xffxxxxxx on your system. The startup example you say works above writes to 0x80000000.I believe you just need to edit the scatter file to match your memory map.
Could you show me the example of the scatter file of this due to I'm new on this DS-5?
In addition, what is the scatter file actually?
Thanks,
CK Ong
The scatter file is specified in the linker settings. For more information, see https://developer.arm.com/products/software-development-tools/compilers/arm-compiler-5/docs/dui0474/latest/scatter-loading-features/the-scatter-loading-mechanism
Really appreciated for your helps here.
The scatter does really help on this. By the way, I am still facing the problem like "arm - DS-5 eclipse debug stuck at waitForTargetToStop - Stack Overflow" which is stuck in the "wait" command there. I also have tried the method with enable Neon but it could not helped as well.

I have tried out the "hello world" with the "startup_Cortex-A9_AC6" but heading the same errors as well which stuck in somewhere and cannot load into the main function. What else can I do for fix this problem?

I don't have a board to test this code with - from it looks like the code is loading correctly to 0x80000000. I recommend setting to "debug from entry point", and see if you can single step the first instruction.
I see from your connection, that the target is in an abort mode when you connect to it... it may be that the board needs to be running an independent boot loader to initialize memory etc. These are usually pre-installed on boards, but you may wish to contact the board vendor for specifics.
Thanks. You are right. That is the uboot problem but it fixed.
By the way, I have facing another problem which is the external SDRAM configuration.
I try to follow the step in this link for setting up the SDRAM configuration - https://fpgawiki.intel.com/wiki/SoCEDSGettingStarted but end up got the problem like below:
Test program has attached.SDRAM test.zip
Need your expertise again :)
Sorry, I don't know anything about that board - you might wish to post your question on the Intel forum instead?
