How to program a EPCQA flash device with MAX10?

Ola,

I am using NIOS and want to boot from EPCQA flash. Can you please help to teach me how to do so?

    Hi,

    with the MAX 10, I've created before and example of parallel flash loader to program the flash, but in your case you are using the EPCQA device which is a serial active and isn't compatible with the parallel flash loader. You have to use the serial flash loader to make the FPGA as a bridge between the JTAG and the flash.

    Please let me know if I got your point. If not please provide more info about the issue.

    Regards,
