Error (209025): Can't recognize silicon ID for device 1; Cyclone IV Issue

I've got my brand new, custom, Cyclone IV hardware up and running and am running into problems using .jic programming. My configuration device is a Micron M25P80, I chose it because I've used it in ...

Are you still having problems with this?

I haven't used the exact part you mention but have used other 8Mb serial devices successfully with Cyclone IV. I've also used several Micron devices, of other capacities successfully with Cyclone IV.

You mention that this is custom hardware - are you happy it's assembled correctly? That fact that you can see responses from the memory device suggests it probably is.

I'm a little concerned about the response to the Read identification command. I'd expect that to return 0x20, 0x20, 0x14 - as per the Micron device datasheet I'm looking at. See here: micron m25p80 serial flash embedded memory (http://www.micron.com/~/media/documents/products/data-sheet/nor-flash/serial-nor/m25p/m25p80.pdf) - page 20.

The error message seems consistent with that mismatch between the manufacturer's ID you read and the datasheet. However, I'm not convinced that would cause the programming to halt.

Let me know if you're still having problems. I have a suitable Cyclone IV platform on which I could (probably) try that particular Micron part...

Cheers,
