Because this is an older board (2009) it is has a dual-die CFI so one of the user guides suggests programming at base 0x0A00_0000. Tried programming with:

1)offset 0xC20000, I get a message that it is too large to fit,

2)offset 0x0, it programs but does not boot.

Tried every permutation of offset and base address. There seems to be a disconnect between the instructions and the CPLD (MAX2).

I am running out of options. I don't know what CFI memory map the CPLD is configured with, the user guide has changed several time over the years and so has the memory map and programming commands. The only thing that works is to run ./restore.sh with the factory .flash files. I hope Dave has the answer for me.

Thanks,
