Hi Aik Eu,

Currently, I'm having problem to verify this because the FPGA is unable to enter ethernet download mode to display the IP address.

Previously, I've been running other tests such as POF/JIC downloading tests which erased the flash memory.

I tried to restore the factory image via BTS tool and the restoration is not successful. Attached BTS log shows error code 44.

The factory recovery process can erase the flash memory but encounter error when starting to program.

I see the same failure when trying to program POF.

Is there an alternative way to enter the ethernet download mode? Or other method to program the FLASH file to flash memory to run Arria 10?

Best Regards

Ryan
