    Hi Fakhrul

    It is still a problem to download JIC via default Flash Loader IP.

      Try to generate and download .pof instead of .jic

        @BXia.pof is no option for a serial flash without dedicated AS programming connection.

        I also don't think that the linked previous thread helps here. As far as I undertstand error "Flash Loader IP not loaded" indicates that the expected virtual JTAG node ID isn't actually present in the loaded configuration or can't be identified due to JTAG issues. The linked thread shows that a too high JTAG frequency in case of programmable speed can be a reason.
