MAX10 ADC doesn't start during power on

I'm using MAX10 ADC to measure on board voltages. The ADC IP operates normally when the design was programmed using JTAG USB Byte Blaster with SOF file. When same design is programmed using POF file, only ADC IP doesn't run while other logic operates normally. I generated ADC IP as "ADC Control Core Only". Anyone ran into this issue?

Thanks,

    Hi Kattice,

    I saw that you have used the ADC control Core only as the core variant. I'm using the same core variant but I'm not able to get my ADC working properly. I've enabled the channel CH 0 of ADC1 and have connected the parameters as required but when I'm giving a signal from a signal generator response_data port is showing nothing. Could you please help me with this issue ? Is there any other configuration that needs to be done while using the ADC control core ?

    Thanks,

    YES, I was able to get the MAX 10 core only ADC working. BUT the ADC is not great and finally I used an external ADC from Analog Devices, much better. The Max 10 ADC needs a bunch of Verilog stuff buried in the Altera's Qsys. Altera does not seem to help with this mode. I have a bunch of files, but will not be able to help you until next week.

    Hi johnboy,

    Thanks for your reply. That's okay if you can help me with this next week but please kindly do post next week. In the mean time I will try to figure out how to make this work.

    Thanks,

    OK, if you send me your email I will blast you a bunch of files I used to make the MAX10 ADC work.

    Hey johnboy,

    I tried to contact you because of the MAX10 files. But unfortunately your mail account is not longer available. Are still active in this forum?

    YES, I have worked on the MAX10 ADC. It doesn't work well, an external ADC works better, much better. I used QSYS to get the basic files for the ADC Core only and hooked up my self. It works using SOF but not using POF. Just the ADC does not work with the POF, the rest of my code works fine.
