I cannot run caliptra on the VCK190

[cronus423]

@swenson,

I hope everything is going well with you, and sorry for disturbing you.
Recently, I’ve been trying to run the Caliptra MCU flow on the VCK190. I’ve already installed Ubuntu on the board and set up the required tooling on both sides:

Host (PC):

• Rust
• Podman
• rsync
• git
• cargo-nextest

FPGA (VCK190):

• rsync
• git
• make
• gcc
• cargo-nextest (available to root)

On the host, I ran the standard xtask sequence (once per boot for bootstrap, then build/build-test as needed):

• cargo xtask-fpga fpga bootstrap --target-host $SSH-FPGA-NAME
• cargo xtask-fpga fpga build --target-host $SSH-FPGA-NAME
• cargo xtask-fpga fpga build-test --target-host $SSH-FPGA-NAME

I also built the firmware bundle:

• cargo xtask-fpga rom-build --platform fpga
• cargo xtask-fpga runtime-build --platform fpga
• cargo xtask-fpga all-build --platform fpga

Then I copied all-fw.zip to the VCK190 via scp and ran fpga-run on the VCK190. At that point, the system consistently hits an asynchronous SError and panics:
cargo xtask-fpga fpga-run --zip all-fw.z
Finished dev profile [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 12.20s

Do you have any suggestions on what might be causing this? I’d be happy to provide additional logs or configuration details if helpful.

Best regards,
