Hi YL ,
first of al I'm going to reply to your answers :
==> non-encrypted file : Yes I began by downloading non-encrypted files an d the board runs as expected with non-encrypted files.
==> AN556 : Yes , I 've followed the flow to program encrypted file as shown in the AN556.
Then I"m going to add that since yesterday i've succeeded in programming the flash with encrypted file and download properly the fpga , these are the steps :
First as I had the issue I noticed the encrypted file was downloaded in the Flash Factory Hardware memory area instead of UserHardware1 memory area .
Then looking for an explanation for this wrong start @ddress I found that in the Convert Programming File window the SOF Data Properties was at its default value : Page Property = Page_0.
That was the cause of the issue .
Then I generated the Flash programming file with the right parameters onto target the UserHarware1 area :
in the Convert Programming File window => SOF Data Properties = Page_1
+ in the Convert Programming File window => SOF Data start_adress = start 0x02D00000
Next I downloaded the Flash with this new .POF file
Finally I downloaded the Arria 10 with the generated .ekp file
The result was a right configuration of the FPGA and the board succeeded in supplying a picture as expected .
(I've tried to target the UserHardware 2 memory area with those parameters :
in the Convert Programming File window => SOF Data Properties = Page_2
+ in the Convert Programming File window => SOF Data start_adress = start 0x05800000
Result = board runs correctly . )
Thank you for your answer YL,
feel free to comment my post,
by the way do you know if there is an Application Note or a White Paper that describes more accurately
the Page Properties Settings ?
Kind regards ,
JM
