8 years agofpga startup problem
Good afternoon, members of the forum.
I have stratix V. I have such a problem. I write down the firmware in the epcq through the AS. The process is normal. In the firmware, I activate one of the LEDs on the board Starting the card, nothing happens. Then he began to notice that the LED all the same blinks once during the start. In this case, if I change the firmware to another LED, the other LED will blink at the start. That is, the FPGA begins to be configured. And then nothing happens. I checked the status pins with the voltmeter. CONF_DONE = 0.1V (is low signal?) nStatus smoothly changes 0.7V - 1.3V = low signal. According to the documentation, this is similar to "Configuration Error Handling". True today, I inserted a card in the pci-e, and my LEDs stopped blinking at the start, according to my firmware. CONF_DONE = 0.1V (is low signal?) nStatus = 0V nCe = 0V nConfig = 3V Сontrol outputs on the board (just in case): 3.3V = 3.4V 3V = 3V 2.5V = 2.5V VTT = 0.38V VCCINT = 0.9V VCCIO = 2.59V Would I be happy with any advice, what kind of problem is this? Where to start searching. Thank you in advance ps. Altera Stratix V 5sgxma7k2f40c2n board Gidel ProceV13 Replies

--- Quote Start --- Hi, It is a power issues If the POR monitored power supplied (from Table 11-2: Power Supplies Monitored and Not Monitored by the Stratix V POR Circuitry) does not reached and stay the appropriate voltage level, the nSTATUS will be low. You can check each power supply voltage level requirement from the datasheet.

Many thanks to the support for patience and my non-professional questions. I replaced the power supply chip, restored Vccpt = 1.5V and the chip came to life.
