15 years ago --- Quote Start --- Finally the card came up..dont know why it shud have not programmed . except CONF_DONE , both nStatus and INIT_DONE were high when i measured using a multimeter. I tried probing CONF_DONE to see whether it goes high any time before/during/after configuration.It was low always.and the FPGA still dint get configured, though i got the error now even when all devices were in chain. again i dont know why this change happened. Next, i switched to probing nStatus and voila!!! it configured..!!:D I guess it provided some capacitance. I will be grateful if any one can explain this to me. I was also unable to program the serial flash in the same powered state. i took out the card and re inserted it and it worked. no changes , no settings it needed. Sometimes electronics is so weird!! --- Quote End --- hi there im having the exact same problem as you (getting no error while programming, fpga will not come up), trying to program with signaltap also gives no errors though it still prompts me to program my device (again and again after programming..), i also have checked the connections, checked to see that i am getting data&clock during programing, and still fpga wont come up. tryed to program several sof's that surely worked in the past, getting nothing.. could you think of anything else that you've done besides probing the nStatues that fixed things up for you? thanks
