    Hi,

    I have checked the Generic Serial Flash Interface Intel® FPGA IP User Guide.

    The supported flash devices for configuration memory are, EPCQ, EPCQ-A, EPCQ-L, and

    Micron* MT25Q (256Mb to 2Gb) devices. Unfortunately N25Q512A83 is not supported for booting NIOSV with MAX10 device.


    Hope this clear your doubts.


    Thank you.


    Regards,

    Kelly

Hi,

Greetings and welcome to Intel's forum.


Unfortunately, we do not have a user guide for booting NIOS V using QSPI flash for MAX10, but we do have user guide on booting NIOS II using QSPI flash for MAX10 which teaches you on generating the .pof and should be similar to NIOS V booting : https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683689/current/processor-application-executes-in-place-20904.html


Let me know if you have further questions.


Thank you.


Regards,

Hello,

Thank you for your quick response.

The MAX10 Dev Kit have the QSPI Flash Part No: N25Q512A83GSF40F. I want to make sure if this flash is capable to boot NIOSV processor. I just want to boot the NIOSV application from the QSPI Flash. The hardware image will be loaded from internal configuration.

The IP I am using in my qsys system is Generic Serial Flash Interface IP. So through this IP, can I boot NIOSV from QSPI Flash Part No: N25Q512A83GSF40F.

Thank you for the co-operation. Looking forward for your response.

Regards,

Himanshu
