"CONF_DONE pin failed to go high in device 1" - Arria 10 FPGA Dev Kit

I have been testing a design on an Arria 10 FPGA Dev Kit which uses the FMCA connection to send/receive signals between a couple of other designs on other development cards. The Arria 10 no longer l...

​​​Hi Nooraini,

That test was carried out with a colleague, who is a JTAG expert. The test software was all on his laptop so unfortunately I don't have any screenshots.

I have attached a screenshot of Quartus programmer, when trying to program the A10 with a SOF file (jtag_fail).

I am able to program the flash separately (with a POF image, for example). The issue is that the Arria 10 does not configure after the flash has been programmed.

I have tried changing the JTAG frequence from 24MHz to 6MHz but the Arria 10 still did not configure.

I have also checked the status of the configuration pins,

MSEL = "001"

COND_DONE = '0'

nSTATUS = '1'

nCE = '0'

nCONFIG = '1'

dCLK = '0'

I have been using the Arria 10 Dev Kit for a few months now and it has all been fine. The design I am testing involves communicating with an existing design on another Dev Kit (Stratix III), vi the FMCA connection.

Thanks,

Karl
