Hi,


The reason that it is not working is due to the Serial Flash Loader is not being programmed into the FPGA before programming the flash.


Please run "quartus_pgm -c USB-Blaster -m JTAG -o "PI;/path/to/your_file.jic@1"


Thanks

    Hey JohnT_Intel,

    My bad, sorry for the delay in getting back to you!

    Thanks for making it super clear – so the whole problem was indeed that the Serial Flash Loader wasn't getting programmed into the FPGA before the actual flash programming. Got it!

    I'm heading straight to my terminal to try that command you gave me: quartus_pgm -c USB-Blaster -m JTAG -o "PI;/path/to/your_file.jic@1". I'll tell you the results real soon!

    Really appreciate your help!

    Got it working! Your explanation about the Serial Flash Loader was spot on, and using -o PI; solved the problem completely.

    No more errors now. Big thanks for the help!
