New Contributorproblem to program an arria10GX with active serial
Dear all,
I am working on a card based on ARRIA10GX.
I want to program the FPGA with the active serial configuration.
I programmed the flash memory (MT25QU01G) a first time but unfortunately the file was not good because now the FPGA performs an automatic reboot after error and I cannot access the FPGA through the JTAG.
my questions are:
- can we stop this cycling
- the FLASH memory (through the dedicated Active serial pins) can it access in another configuration mode
thank you

Hi,
Arria 10 GX flash memory can only use Active Serial configuration mode. Per my understanding, your issue here is:
Arria 10 GX MT25QU01G flash memory only support 4-bytes address. The flash memory come with 3-bytes address and you might need to set the address to 4-bytes manually if you are using your own programming. By referring to https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/support/support-resources/support-centers/configuration-support.html, it mention that "User need to set the register manually if using a third party programmer."
Please inform me if you need further information.

JBouv2Hi,
thank you for your reply
I use my own script to program the flash memory, I use the "generic serial flash interface" hardware IP and a .rpd file
I follow the design as shown in Arria 10 GX user guide.
but my problem now is to access the serial flash to delete it. is there a way to access the memory in a mode other than active serial?
regards

Hi,
Thank you for contacting Intel community.
Please clarify the following:
-how did you program the flash memory: using quartus or your own script?
-what is the format of the bit stream that you have generated? Are u using rbf, rpd,jic or sof file?
-since using AS config mode, have you followed the design as shown in Arria 10 GX user guide?
Regards,
Aim
