Arria10SoC Development kit: Failing to burn the on board QSPI flash

Hello, I prepared a binary stream for burning to the QSPI flash: 128MB (MT25QU01GBBA8E12-0SIT), which installed on J11. I followed the instructions on https://community.intel.com/t5/FPGA-Wiki/G...

First of all, is the design working as intended after the programming?


Also, have you set the ID value during bitstream generation?

(Page 15 of the PDF)


Also, have you set the NVCR value by following page 17?

Hi,

Following the Q&A.

Q: First of all, is the design working as intended after the programming?

A: The JIC produced with the 'Factory default SFL image' for Arria10 and the HEX file. No SOF added since the FPGA should be loaded from other QSPI flash.

Q: Also, have you set the ID value during bitstream generation?

(Page 15 of the PDF)

A: Yes, set to the correct ID of the flash.

Q: Also, have you set the NVCR value by following page 17?

A: Although it not clear where this step, it added prior to the 'Read NVCR'.

-----

If I understand it right, the NVCR is optional, but the issues start while we can't read the ID.

Attached the configuration device xml for your review.

Thank you.

    Hi,

    I have a small correction, the attached xml is from my testing, the right one has 'Read ID' length is 3.

    Attached.
