Honored ContributorJust an update:
It appears the new PFL .sof file Altera gave me was corrupted in transit or otherwise an incorrect file for this board. The S3 DSP boards were apparently developed with Engineering Sample versions of the EP3SL150, and compiled with 7.2.sp1 The S3 non-DSP kits have files targeting production versions of the EP3SL150 and files were compiled with 7.2.sp3 I grabbed the PFL.sof file (as well as factory_recover.pof) from a non-DSP kit and used that to restore my DSP board. That much seems to work. As a backup in case of emergency, the PFL is used as an example in the examples directory, so project files exist if you need to rebuild it yourself. -------- As for the other issues, I'm still looking for clear answers on creating and programming .pof files into other pages of the flash (to power up with the rotary switch in other positions). I successfully put the factory default program back into page 0. I can also put my own programs in page 0. When I put my own program into page 1, that worked, but it corrupted the factory default file in page 0. Still looking for clarifications... As a final goal, I want to be able to put different programs in each of the pages, and be able to change each page individually (without corrupting the others) AND ALSO be able to write one file with all 8 programs in one shot. Ideally, half the programs would be encrypted, and half would not...
