Preserving sectors in an EPCS

Hi,

I'm trying to operate the asmi_parallel megafunction to control an EPCS1 serial flash, through a Cyclone device. Now I can't even read the EPCS1 Silicon_ID through the asmi_parallel megafunction. I wrote a small state machine that only asserts the read_sid signal and reads the epcs_id field, but the busy signal is always at '1' , as if the machine never finishes working. EPCS_ID field is always 8'h00. I only raise the read_sid signal once and lowers it after one one clock or at another case after two clock cycles, but the busy is always at '1'. What could be the problem?

I don't have a NIOS core in my system.

Thanks,

Eldad
