how to download configuration code to Cyclone 10 dev kit board for customer's power-up configuration

Hi,

I have a Cyclone 10 development kit board: DK-DEV-10CX220-A.

It works well with BTS. I need to download my own configuration code either to EPCQ-L(ASx4) or to the NOR flash memories on the board to boot up the FPGA at power up. I have tried the EPCQ-L programing but it fails. For the NOR-Flash, i don't know how to convert my sof file to the one fits the memory type. Is there any one who can help me? VERY Appriciated!!!

      Hi Aiman,

      Following your instruction, I reconfigured the TCK frequency (though i don't know if i did correctly). It still fails. Attached please find out the screen shot for you.

    Hi,


    Please check if the device chose in the quartus->assignment->device->device/board is the correct device as per the dev kit.

    Hi,


    Perhaps you can try this steps:

    1. Auto detect device, right click the device and add bitstream into it
    2. Remove the empty device(just as I shown before in the red box)
    3. Hit program


    On top of that, try to check whether SOF file can program or not to minimize the scope or error. If can, then there is possibility the JIC file has problem. Can try on the other version as well to check if it is version dependent.


    Regards,

      Hi,

      I did according to your suggestion. It did not work.

      I can down load my code via JTAG by using SOF file to FPGA directly after power up. It tells us the code is working. The issue is just I could not permanently put it into the FLASH so as not to be able to boot the FPGA at power up.

      I've tried revision of 17.1 and 19.1 of Quartus Prime Pro. Neither works.

    Hi,


    Perhaps there is issue with JIC.


    Is the flash device selected correct during JIC creation and have choose correct configuration scheme in quartus?

      I generated it just following the manual. Is there any hidden point i should pay attention to? It's supposed to be very straightforward, right?

        Hi,

        OnBoard USB Blaster of DK-DEV-10CX220-A has Two JTAG devices.

        1st device is CFG MAX10(10M08SA) for PFL.

        2nd device is Cyclone 10 GX(10CX220Y).

        How to

        (1) Open Programmer.

        (2) Click "Auto Detect". You can find "10M08SA" and "10CX220Y".

        (3) Select "10CX220Y"

        (4) Click "Change File". and Open .jic file.

        (5) Check "Program/Configure".

        (6) Click "Start".

        OK?

      Just let you know, this issue has not been solved yet. I have no idea why. The dev kit board to me is totally a garbage now! A big loss to me.
