Failed to configure Altera PCIE reference design on Stratix IV development board

I am at the stage of testing the PCIE functions of Altera's Stratix IV GX Development Board.

The reference design I am using is AN456 downloaded from Altera's website.

As required, the Stratix IV GX board is plugged into the computer with x8 PCIE slot at 32-bit Windows XP.

Error message (CONF_DONE pin failed to go high in Device 1) pops up whenever the configuration progress reaches 98% or 99% in Quartus programmer window.

Thanks for any advices!

Best regards,

Xin

    Xin,

    I believe that the Stratix IV .sof files delivered with the reference design were compiled for an ES device. If your Stratix IV board has a production device, you will need to recompile the code and recreate the SOF for a non-ES target device.

    Hi BrettFavre,

    I recompiled the design on the non-ES device and it finally worked.

    Many thanks for your help!

    Best,

    Xin
