New ContributorConfiguration using the MT25QU01GBBB8E12-0SIT
Hello,
Figure 127, "Connection Setup for Programming the EPCQ-L Using the AS Interface," in the "Cyclone® 10 GX Core Fabric and General Purpose I/Os Handbook" illustrates a configuration that enables standalone startup using the EPCQ-L via the AS interface.
However, the EPCQ-L has been discontinued; on the Cyclone 10 GX evaluation board (DK-DEV-10CX220-B), the MT25QU01GBBB8E12-0SIT is connected to the AS interface instead.
Is it possible to perform programming via Active Serial simply by replacing the EPCQ-L with the MT25QU01GBBB8E12-0SIT ?
The intended workflow is to program the 10CX220YF780E5G directly during development, and to program the MT25QU01GBBB8E12-0SIT for the final product so that the FPGA boots up automatically upon power-up.
Thank you

umut_arrowHi,
Yes, you can program the MT25Q via Active Serial programming by selecting EPCQ-L. The only thing I'd check is your Quartus version, because the in the older versions you had to enable MT25Q in quartus.ini to be able to see flash devices with bigger than 256Mbit size in the Convert Programming File tool. KB article below just in case!https://community.altera.com/kb/knowledge-base/how-do-i-enable-microns-mt25q-device-support-in-replacement-to-end-of-life-eol-e/345149
