10 years ago --- Quote Start --- arriaII GX EPCS write (sof,eld) by flash programmer I succeeded to write hardware and software in EPCS using flash programmer in Cyclone III. But I failed to write hardware and software in EPCS using flash programmer in Arria II GX. I attach the process of cyclone III and arria II GX. EPCS interface (DCLK,ASDO,nCSO,DATA0)can't be set as regular IO in Arria II GX, so can't sof nad elf file be written in EPCS by flash programmer? Other ways were mentioned at the end of attachment. The way is to use flash memory and sram connected to regular IO. Is this general? --- Quote End --- I am planning to set Active Serial configuration device (EPCS).Now I have not arria II GX board with EPCS.before programming,compile error occured. Arria II GX's DCLK ,DATA0,ASDO,nCSo are not dual purpose pins.So I cannot change them dedicate pins to regular IO pins. But I used them as regular IO(IO port assign in RTL,pin assign in qsf ) .And I used EPCS flash controller IP in QSYS(for use flash programmer ).Is it possible by cyclone and then impossible by Arria II GX?I attach several system .Please tell something possible and something impossible to me in attachment.
