Flash programming for 2nd FPGA on Arria V GT FPGA Development Kit (DK-DEV-5AGTD7N)

The user guide describes how to program the flash memory device for the 1st FPGA in Appendix A. However I cannot figure out how to do that for the 2nd FPGA. P.S. I cannot easily connect the board t...

Hi

May I know, have you try the recommended commands in the user guide pg53 of 58,

Because two FPGA devices are hardwired in the JTAG chain, and it is possible to configure Nios II CPU devices on both FPGAs simultaneously, nios2-flash-programmer commands may require the --device=<device index> and --instance=<instance> arguments.

nios2-flash-programmer -d 1 -i 0 --base=0x0 <yourfile>_hw.flash

After programming completes, if you have a software file to program, type the following Nios II EDS command:

nios2-flash-programmer -d 1 -i 0 --base=0x0 <yourfile>_sw.flash

Programming the board is now complete
