Hi Jdun,


May i know which programming file you are using to program the flash? Is it JIC / POF? Also what are the programming scheme you used in the design?

    Well First I want to rest the board back to factory settings, to make sure it is still working. I am first trying to use the bts-gui. I use it to load the factory reset, but it fails. I looked at the log and it erases the flash, but once it goes to write the flash it fails.

    the MSEL switches are in the default setting or MSEL 0 switch = off, MSEL1 and 2 switch = on. But I wouldn't the MSEL would even matter when loading the Flash.

    Is there a Flash protection bit? Or write protection? How do I turn that on or off?

    It appears in the schematic this bit is pulled-up high, so I don't think that is the problem.

    After I can load the Factory I plan on using a pof, or whatever will work to program the FPGA.
