Device configuration failed + CRC error while using .jic file

Hi,

FPGA model : C10LP120YF780I7G, Vcore = 1.2V , Vccio = 3.3V (conf dev IO voltage)

Flash model : MT25QL128ABB

Conf Scheme : AS (x1) , MSEL[3:0] = 1101 (AS, Fast, 3.3V)

JTAG Conf : Single Device

Quartus SW version : Standard Edition, 22.1std.0 Build 915 10/25/2022

Quartus Programmer version : 19.4

Programmer device : USB-Blaster II -> FPGA (SFL) -> Flash

Gen flash setting :

Issue :

1. Programming .jic file (done without errors)

2. Preform power cycle (to re-load the configuration from the external flash)

3. Device failed to load configuration, status :

INIT_DONE - '1'

CONF_DONE - '0'

CRC_ERROR - '1'

NSTATUS - '0' (for POR time = error during configuration)

*Notes -

1. sof file programmed successfully, the device is up and working as expected !!!

2. In Quartus SW -> "Convert Programming File" -> "Advanced..." :

When turn OFF the "AS mode CONF_DONE error check" - the image is up. (attached snapshot)

Attached - sof, jic, cof files

Thank.

    Hi there,

    I have already check your sof and the process of generating jic, there is no problem. There are some points I want to make sure again:

    1. Is the logic code work when turn off the “AS MODE Conf_done error check” and power up after load the jic?

    2. Could u try to read the rpd(bin) file from flash and compare the file with your rpd file when you generate the jic file?

    3. On your board, is the config_done pin is floating?

    Best regards,

    WZ

    By the way, please try to use ​.rpd file rather than .jic.

    Hi , thanks for the fast response

    See my comments below :

    1. YES

    2. How to read the rpd from the flash ?

    3. CONF_DONE pin connected to 10K PU resistor according to " Active Serial Single Device Configuration" and also to FET+LED (attached snapshot from my schematics).

    4. Regarding the .rpd generation, i can't choose my configuration device, can you pls check if its ok (attached .rpd & cof files)

    BTW - After .rpd generate, I cant choose this file in Quartus programmer :

    Hi there,

    I check the connection of CRC_ERROR and config_done pin, there is no problem.

    If you wanna write the rbf and read the flash’s content, the GSFI ip should be considered. For read the rbf from flash:

    https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683419/23-1-20-2-3/device-family-support.html

    For my opinion, the CRC_error is not a reliable detection method, and often leads to false positives. If you can confirm that the logic is running normally, or read the bits in the flash, there is no problem. Turning off CRC_check is an option.

    Best regards,

      Hi thanks,

      not yet.

      I need some effort to understand how to implement the above IP and read the rbf from ext flash.
