Hi WabG,


Sorry for the late reply, I am not sure about the combination of settings handling to configure the FPGA fabric on a custom board.

One thing for sure is referring to Cyclone V development kit, booting up with QSPI flash or SD card, the difference will be on BSEL pins only. Then the configuration of FPGA fabric can be done with the same MSEL settings. The configuration of the FPGA fabric is done through Quartus programming tool or in the Uboot User space withe "fpga load". I think can based on the normal configuration settings as a comparison to troubleshoot for your handling on the custom board.


The common documents which we are referring to as below, can check some of the settings handling required:
