ContributionsMost RecentMost LikesSolutionsRe: Cyclone III - Flash Loader IP not loaded I am using a USB Blaster, Rev C, I think it's only TCK frequency is 6MHz Attached is the Programmer screenshot. I did an experiment: I found that we had some old EPCS64SI16N memory in our inventory. I removed the EPCQ memory, and put the EPCS in its place. I remade the programming file to work for that memory. But I still get the same error: Flash Loader IP not loaded on device 1 Re: Cyclone III - Flash Loader IP not loaded In the Convert Programming File window, I have the Configuration device selected as EPCQ64A (the memory) and the Flash Loader as EPC3LS70 (the FPGA) Re: Cyclone III - Flash Loader IP not loaded Yes, I confirmed the FPGA Device is correctly selected, EPC3LS70, and the memory is set to EPCQ64A. I also checked the box in the convert programming file window that says "Disable EPCS ID check" Re: Cyclone III - Flash Loader IP not loaded Thank you! I installed the patch, selected the EPCQ64A for the .jic memory, And created the new file in my patched Quartus 13. But I still get the error: "Flash Loader IP not loaded on device 1" when I attempt to program it using the Programmer on the lab laptop. Re: Cyclone III - Flash Loader IP not loaded I've heard there is a patch for Quartus 13, 13.1.4 patch 4.70r This is supposed to add functionality to version 13 to allow it to convert files to work with EPCQ64A Is there a link to this patch or can someone email it to me? Thanks! Re: Cyclone III - Flash Loader IP not loaded Unfortunately, the last Quartus version that supported Cyclone III compilation was 13, and the earliest Quartus that supported the EPCQ64A is 18. So I can't compile and convert in the same Quartus software version Cyclone III - Flash Loader IP not loaded Hello all. I am trying to program a Cyclone III LS with a new .jic file. I made modifications to the code and compiled it in Quartus 13. However, these boards were built relatively recently and have EPCQ64A memory on them. So I used Quartus 18 to convert the .sof into a .jic But the lab laptop has Quartus 20.1 on it. I use that to try and program the Cyclone III LS boards. I successfully go through the steps to reset the Cyclone III to factory, using ,tcl scripts, in order to get around the security settings. But once Quartus starts to program the FPGA with the SFL image, it says: Flash Loader IP not loaded on device 1 I am using a USB Blaster, Rev C Can anyone see where I might be going wrong? Can't find JTAG serverI'm attempting to use the quartus 18.1 programmer to program a cyclone III LS FPGA. I have successful used this installation and USB Blaster to program cyclone Vs with no issue. I created a new .jic file for the cyclone III, But when I attempt to program it, I get the error "can't find JTAG server" Is it possible this version of the programmer is too new to program the cyclone III? Re: Modelsim can't find design units Yes, Quartus and ModelSim were downloaded together in the same package. Quartus is Quartus Prime 18.1 Build 625, and ModelSim is Starter Edition 10.5b Modelsim can't find design units Hi, I am a Modelsim novice, so I might be missing something obvious. I compiled my design in Quartus, and opened Modelsim through the Quartus software. In Modelsim, compiled a few other needed libraries. But I still get some (vsim-3033) errors, saying: "Instantiation of 'cyclonev_clkena_encrypted' failed. The design unit was not found." This repeats for units cyclonev_pll_refclk_select_encrypted, cyclonev_fractional_pll_encrypted, cyclonev_pll_reconfig_encrypted, and cyclonev_pll_output_counter_encrypted. I am nor sure where else to find them, I feel like I am searching in the dark. I feels odd that all the necessary things aren't precompiled when I open it through Quartus, but I can deal with that. Does anyone know where I can find these last things to compile in my simulation?
