Cyclone V E Development Kit failed on Active Serial Configuration via JTAG

1. Yes, all steps in youtube you followed is correct, just need change the option epcs128 to epcq256.

2. Wrong, cyclone v and cyclone v e have different handbook, and you are referring https://www.altera.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_us/pdfs/literature/hb/cyclone-v/cyclone5_handbook.pdf

pg239 table 7-2 is Cyclone V.

2a. Correct handbook for Cyclone V E is https://www.altera.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_us/pdfs/literature/ug/ug_cve_fpga_dev_kit.pdf. Refer pg12 and pg13 for your msel pin. They involve only 4 MSEL switches for sw1(MSEL) + sw2(JTAG chain) + sw3(user dip) + sw4(board setting)

3. "Can't recognize silicon ID for device 1" means you choosing EPCS instead of EPCQ. Please take note.

4. Correct, you are using JTAG and serial configuration, default MSEL is FPP, therefore cannot use default dip switch.

5. SW1 you will confuse because handbook not provided the serial configuration pin, you may refer schematic which is inside the kit as zip in https://www.altera.com/products/boards_and_kits/dev-kits/altera/kit-cyclone-v-e.html. I hereby summarize for easier option.

5a. MSEL0=connected to T8 pin=ddr3 or Max V. Example MSEL0=1=Off=disable connection to Max V and DDR3.

MSEL1=connected to P9 pin=ddr3 or Max V.

MSEL2=connected to G5 pin=Flash P30(for parallel memory) or Max V or Max II power or uC

MSEL4=connected to M7 pin=ddr3 or or Max V

DDR3=U7(look on your board labeled)=JTAG blaster TDI

W9 pin=TDO of JTAG.

5b. If you are using EPCQ256 and JTAG, sw1 shall be somewhere 0010 through Max V and resistor rework, for sw2 3 4, please study it correctly, everything is there in handbook pg12 pg13 given.

Edited link missing, the method to post link upgraded during I post this.

Hi @Tzi Khang,

Your info makes me more confusing. The link https://www.altera.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_us/pdfs/literature/ug/ug_cve_fpga_dev_kit.pdf is the user guide of Cyclone V E Development Kit, it's not handbook. In this guide, it doesn't talk much about how to set up MSEL. I have tried MSEL[4-0] 0010 but it failed at 99% or 98%. It drives me nut.

I selected EQCQ256 in Device and Pin option. Have you tried your method on Cyclone V E Development board and get it compile successfully? I am newbie, so I don't know much about this process.
