How to use an EPCS Flash

I didn't know what my eclipse shows in debug mode, but nothing useful I think! :mad:

I now checked the silicon id with an simple alt_printf() and now I see, the id id 0xFF.

Then I added a if statement for these id, and initialized the structure. And now the command alt_flash_open_dev(EPCS_FLASH_CONTROLLER_NAME) returns no error! :)

I will check the next days if I now could really read/write the flash and give a report here.

But one strange thing remains, I still had to call

    ALTERA_AVALON_EPCS_FLASH_CONTROLLER_INSTANCE ( EPCS_FLASH_CONTROLLER, epcs_flash_controller);
    ALTERA_AVALON_EPCS_FLASH_CONTROLLER_INIT ( EPCS_FLASH_CONTROLLER, epcs_flash_controller);

in main(). This should be called automatically, or not?

Can someone explain this behavior?

Thanks
