Hi,


Is there any error message after you have executed "device_download_sof $d_path output_files/blink.sof"?


Can you check if the SOF file is actually in the folder?

Also, have you executed this command? get_service_paths device? Is there response from it? This is to determine is JTAG is connected properly.


Thank You.


Regards,

Bruce

    Hi Bruce,

    Please read my posting again, I wrote in there:

    Please note that the first part completed successfully, The amber D5 CONFIG LED did come up:

    <quote>
    Program the Intel® FPGA
    To program the Intel FPGA device, we first need to get a service path to the device. We will assign that path to a variable called d_path by typing the following command:

    set d_path [lindex [get_service_paths device] 0 ]

    Download the SOF file to the device by typing the following command:

    device_download_sof $d_path output_files/blink.sof

    The amber D5 CONFIG LED should be illuminated once the commands above complete
