14 years agoYou've described what you're doing with your software image, but where is your hardware image (FPGA programming file/SOF) being stored?
If it's also in the EPCS, then what you're attempting to do won't work....to the best of my knowledge. The default bootloader for EPCS expects to see a SOF with an ELF immediately following it in the EPCS device... It may also work with just the ELF being stored in the EPCS, but I haven't tried that. You CAN do what you'd like to do, using some sort of dual bootloader scheme, but you have to understand that by pointing the processor's reset address to the EPCS device you are telling the processor to run the small bootloader that resides on an onchip memory that is a part of the epcs_controller component.
