commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=26cfbf7f7dd94a31153b615801b8a4fe1d118ce5
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/2025.02.x
This defconfig no longer builds:
https://gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot/-/jobs/11026772887
It has been broken for at least 2 months:
https://gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot/-/jobs?name=T%3Dsocrates_cyclone5&kind=BUILD
It uses the outdated and not even LTS 4.16.7 Linux kernel, which no
longer builds with modern toolchains.
Unless a fix is provided, this defconfig will be removed.
Fixes:

-
-Build
-=====
-
-First, load socrates config for buildroot
-
- make socrates_cyclone5_defconfig
-
-Build everything
-
- make
-
-Following files will be generated in output/images

-Creating bootable SD card
-=========================
-
-Simply invoke
-
-dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX
-
-Where X is your SD card device (not partition)
-
-Booting
-=======
-
-Pins 6:8 on P18 selector is used to determine boot device. To boot socrates from
-sdcard set these pins to value 0x5 (101b). Remaining pins are used to determine
-how to configure FPGA and are not associated with booting into Linux kernel.
