Hi,
When you mention about chip ID, is it the FPGA chip ID or the Flash chip ID not detected? May I know how do you connect to the Arduino Uno previously that cause it to be damaged?
The reason I am asking is that I suspect that some of the FPGA IO bank might be damaged as well. So it might not fully damaged the FPGA chip but certain IO pin will not function correctly.
Thanks.
I am not sure which ID is unidentified exactly (just pasted the error message). I provide a picture down below of the quartus logs, I hope it can introduce any additional info.
Regarding my accident with arduino, I did not connect any power, USB or any cables to arduino at all. I just plugged the arduino to the FPGA, but there were absolutely no other cables plugged to the arduino, my initial asumption was that FPGA should supply sufficient voltage and current to arduino by itself, and I wanted just a quick check (it gives me some hope because arduino itself does not generate any voltages, it can not produce anything beyond of what it is given or fed by FPGA.) After the accident, I identified a fried voltage regulator chip on the arduino. But just like I mentioned before, there were no such signs on the FPGA, and my voltage testing verified it.
I may lack the programming setup knowledge, but I need some guidance on further steps, do I:
1) Keep tweaking the programmer settings and trying to flash the memory?
2) Order brand new flash chip, replace it and hope that it should work properly?
3) Order brand new FPGA chip together with flash chip and replace them both?
4) Any other option?
If you need some more details, please let me know. Thank you.
