Examine CFI device and save data by command line

Hello,

I tried to work with Quartus 19.1 and now have a following problem.

Please look attached image.

The system has not recognized a CFI device S29GL256P.

What right name of the device?

Hi leonidK,

I noticed that you are using Quartus 18.1. Based on the information I received internally, there is an issue in the CFI flash examination using the command line in 18.1.

In 18.1, the programmer is able to execute the examine operation but it didn't save the examined data into a POF file.

In 19.1, we fixed the issue where the programmer will automatically save the examined data into a POF file with default name of flash_examine.pof after the examine operation is completed. Hence, I would advise you to use Quartus 19.1.

Hi leonidK,

We still have not received any feedback from the software .eng team on this issue. It seems currently they are busy with higher critical/priority issues on their hand. I have filed an escalation regarding this issue and will be waiting for the feedback.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Hi leonidK,

My apologies for the delay in response. We had trouble accessing the platform to reply to the community forum on our end earlier this week. I just received feedback from one of the SMEs on this issue. Apparently, he said that this is a legacy device that needs some time for them to check it and escalation might be required for this as well to speed up the process. The earliest answer would be around next week, I will try to update with you again if there's any response from them. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Hello Fakhrul,

Please check the issue a.s.a.p.

I need to know is it possible or no.

Hi leonidK,

My apologies. I'm still waiting for a response from the internal expert.

Let me follow up with them and get back to you.

I tried. It works for device in JTAG chain, but doesn't work for CFI device.

Hi leonidK,

Sorry for the delay. It should be similar to this > -o e;file.pof;device_name -o ei;file.jic;device_name

Have you tried this one? You can refer in Quartus II Scripting Reference Manual - Intel

Let me know if this works.

Regards,

Fakhrul

I'm looking forward for your answer.
