Flash Loader IP not loaded on device 1?

Hello, I have a Cyclone IV based FPGA board (LimeSDR-PCIe v1.3) I am trying to flash FPGA FW but in Quartus I always get this error. "Flash loader IP not loaded on device 1" see log below. /altera_...

Hi,

I have the same problem with programming Cyclone 10 (10CL025Y).

I try to program a JIC file via Altera USB-Blaster. The error message "Flash Loader IP not loaded on device 1" appears. The SOF file is getting programmed well.

I generated the JIC-File with the Quartus tool "Converting Programming Files".

Has anyone an idea?

Regards

Wolfram

Please try to change the code of FPGA to the same JIC file. Then you can program the flash without problem.

    Hi MarcoWu,

    Thank you for your hint!

    But I solved the problem yet: The FPGA was held in reset. An other error message like "FPGA in reset, no access possible" would have been very helpful ;-).

      Hey WFitt​ , may I know how you resolved the FPGA in reset state? And also what was causing it to stay in the reset state?
