Hi,

I would suggest you compile the .sof file into the Max10 Dev kit first to see whether the LED[0] is blinking or not before generating and converting to the HEX and .pof file. If there are no errors with compiling the .sof file, we can further know the issue lies on generating the HEX AND .pof file or QSPI flashing.


I will further perform the tasks and check the source of errors.


Regards,

Kelly

    I have already compiled the .sof file into Max10 Dev Kit and verified the LED[0] is blinking or not. The LED[0] was blinking when I run the software project using NIOS Tool. After that only I generated the hex file.

    After this the .pof file for the HEX File generated was also created successfully. And this .pof was programmed into the QSPI Flash long with .pof generated while compilation being programmed into MAX10 Device.

    But still after Power Cycle the LED[0] does not blink. I don't know where the issue lies. I have also attached the files for your reference.

    I would like to hear if any resolution for this issue exists.
