Honored ContributorFYI - I've tested the Micron part. It programs via .jic and boots my Cyclone IV perfectly happily.
I've never come across the Macronix part - it may well be 'filtered out' by some sort of Altera manufacturer screening. If you really need to use the Macronix part then I can see a way around it using the NiosII flash programmer utility. However, you'd need to put a Nios into your FPGA - albeit only to program the 'EPCS'. I can help if you need to know more - let me know if your appetite stretches this far... The NiosII flash programmer allows you to identify unknown FLASH devices (that it doesn't know about by default) and how to use them. It may be that the Quartus programmer has a similar feature - but I'm not aware of it. Depending on how many of these boards you've built it may well be easier to change the device. Cheers, Alex
