Hi Aik Eu,

I connect LAN cable to J9 ethernet port and follow the steps in the user guide.

I'm not using ethernet blaster. The on board USB blaster is not working for some unknown reason, but I have an external USB blaster 2 cable to program SOF.

The purpose of bringing up ethernet flash download is to provide a means to store my FPGA binary data in NVM and allow booting up the RTL code directly.

Recently, I managed to resolve JIC programming problem and can now store the my FPGA binary data in the serial flash.

Thus, ethernet flash download method is now a good-to-have option.

Best Regards

Ryan
