    Hi CSegu,

    Happy New Year to you. Which Quartus Prime version are you using to generate the .jic file for EPCQ128A? The Quartus Convert Programming File setting screen shot that you provided was set to EPCQ128 which is a different flash from EPCQ128A device. In AN822 document has mentioned the EPCQA flash device are supported starting from Quartus Prime Standard v17.1. Thus you should be using Quartus Prime Standard v17.1 above to generate the correct programming files for EPCQ128A device.

Hi CSegu,

Apologize for the delay as most of our agents are out of office due to the year end holidays. Thus please do expect some delay in response.

What is the nCONFIG, nSTATUS and CONF_DONE singal state after power up? Is the nSTATUS signal stay high all the time after nCONFIG goes high? Or did the nSTATUS signal toggle? Please check on these configuration signals after power.

Did you set the configuration scheme to Active Serial mode in the Device and Pin option in the Quartus project design before compilation? How did you generate the .jic file? Please provide the steps or the screen shots showing the steps.

Regards,

Nooraini
