    Hi,

    which Quartus Version did you use and what kind of programming files ?

    Kind regards

    If your Quartus Version is 9.1 then this is the case, as this Quartus Version has a bug in generating the required files for programming EPCS devices. This bug will be fixed with the next service pack. (a patch is availabe via MySupport).

    if you can check your image via jtag and it runs as expected, then the source should be epcs & fpga connetion related.

    could you verify that the MSEL pins are setup for AS mode ?

    when powering up the system, do you see the fpga request at the epcs pins ? you should see the DCLK and other signals...

    if this happens, do you see changes at the output of your epcs device that it is responding ?
