4 years agoNios boot (Passive serial Configuration)
Hi,
I am using a max 10 (CPLD) to configure a cyclone V (passive serial configuration).
The FPGA image is stored in. an external parallel flash connected to the CPLD.
I want to know how to use the memcpy bootcopier in this configuration to store the nios application in external flash and to boot it on the external DDR3.
PS : I was using the onchip-ram to boot nios (execute in place) but now the application is big and I cannot store it on the ocram
Regards.

Hi,
Click Auto Detect after the programming successful. Click Yes if you are asked to overwrite existing settings. The CFI flash device will be detected and attached to the MAX CPLD.
You may refer to the steps in these documents and designs:

**The boot-copier design in documents use the inbuilt MAX V cpld.
