Hi Angela,

Have you had any experience using the PFL to program the FPGA in passive serial mode? I thought it would just work, but we seem to be having issues. The file is stored in flash.

When PFL was introduced, it could not be targeted to anything but MAX II, and it did not have a simulation model, so I wrote my own controller.

If PFL has a simulation model now, then I'd recommend reviewing the simulation to try to determine the issue.

Cheers,

Dave
