Frequent ContributorHi Thomas,
Long time no see. I was also buried under the heavy workload.
If you recall our initial conversation back in August, my initial suspicion was towards a bug in Quartus. However, it wasn't until you give me the read-back flash file for me, and the content turned out to be all zeros (00). This is uncommon, leading me to believe that the manufacturer has implemented encryption.
The current situation you're facing is highly likely to be coupled with the initially suspected Quartus bug. You may consider upgrading Quartus and performing encryption settings to check if the situation aligns with our expectations.
Best regards,
WZ
Occasional ContributorHello WZ
reading out my boards makes no sense as long as Quartus has a bug.
Let's stick to the development board first.
DK-DEV-5M570ZN development kit.
With this board it must work first (and here it is certain that there are no hardware influences)
The last thing I posted is from the dev board which is deleted and the empty board was read out and compared.
At least here Quartus should not show any errors.
UFM worked again but CFM is fail ... with an empty CFM . Something is wrong with Quartus here
It would be easiest if you also had a DK-DEV-5M570ZN development kit.
I use the stand-alone software Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Programmer and Tools Version 23.2.0 which apparently does not need a license
of the Quartus® Prime Lite Edition is still version 22.1.2 here there is still no update.
I just found that Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Programmer and Tools version 23.3.0 is available and installed it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have now repeated the test on the DK-DEV-5M570ZN development kit with the versions :
Quartus® Prime Standard Edition Programmer and Tools 22.1std.2.922 ( same in Lite Version )
Still not usable because of save file bug ( not possible to save examine files )
Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Programmer and Tools Version 23.3.0.104
same behavior as version 23.2.0
Verify of CFM failed as all the Time
So for me it seems to be a BUG in Quartus
an update to a STD version is not worthwhile for my applications because the LITE version would be sufficient if it were error-free, but Intel would be happy to provide me with a license free of charge for further testing due to all these errors.
Frequent ContributorHi Thomas,
Based on your readings from the flash, it appears that verification may not be necessary, as the content has been encrypted. I'm curious, were you able to successfully access the contents of the flash from the development board kit? I recall that your initial goal involved reading the content in the flash. Has your objective shifted now?
Best regards,
WZ
