Honored ContributorI'm not out of the woods yet...Yes, I was able to restore the factory backup files using the ./restore.sh and it boots up and runs. However, even though I was able to program the CFI with the user_hw.flash it does not bootup (configure the FPGA), i.e. I don't get the green LED to light up. I tried the following:
1)offset 0x0, program at base address 0x0800_0000 fails to boot (according to guide) 2)offset 0x200_0000 (the user HW start from memory map table), base address 0x0800_0000 =>fails to start programming 3)offset 0x002_0000 (factory HW start), program at base address 0x0800_0000, fails to boot 4)tried a simple flashing LED design, the same results, fails to boot P.S. I am using the NIOS II EDS method not the Board Update Portal. Has anyone programmed a Stratix IV 530ES CFI and have it bootup? I am looking for any small design that can be programmed into the 530ES user HW space with the instructions to do it, that work. Preferably a design with a NIOS II and some SW. I have not confidence in the user guide instructions anymore. Thanks, S.
