Hello,

No, I am still not being able to boot the NIOS Processor after downloading the hex(pof) in QSPI Flash. All the feedback provided by you has been looked after but the outcome is still the same.

Hi,

I see that the flash device you use from the Dev kit is N25Q512A83. Unfortunately, the flash chip GD25Q16 is not supported. The supported flash devices for configuration memory are, EPCQ, EPCQ-A, EPCQ-L, and Micron* MT25Q (256Mb to 2Gb) devices, therefore QSPI flash will not boot.

Thank you.
