8 years agoIt is about "grouping" all similar behavior devices.
Pic. 1 This is because in "Convert Programming File", they share common way of converting e.g. sof to other format; For example, EP4CGX15 will cover all EP4CGX15BF14A7 + EP4CGX15BF14C6 + EP4CGX15BF14C8 + etc. In short sentence, it cover all subcategories fall under it. Pic. 2 Same with grouping, but this time is at programming/configuring the device side, so there involved more variant of programming way for devices fall under same categories; e.g. EP4CGX50DF27 will cover EP4CGX50DF27C6 + EP4CGX50DF27C7 + EP4CGX50DF27C8 but EP4CGX50 cannot cover EP4CGX50DF27C6 itself. In short sentence, it cover some subcategories fall under it but does not include all. Taken from https://www.altera.com/support/support-resources/knowledge-base/solutions/rd12132011_913.html. For Error code 209025. You have 2 programming headers (JTAG and Active Serial (AS)) on your board and are trying to program the memory e.g EPCS. By default, when first open programming windows, the default setting mode is JTAG header. Simply change the mode to AS, that's all. I would suggest you provide the steps how you generate the programming files e.g.(.jic). Because silicon ID=flash device, that you set might be wrong, e.g. EPCS and EPCQ mixed up and hard to notice if wrongly chosen.
