Programming failing in DE10-Nano board (And in my board as well)

Hi,

different versions of DE10nano are using different flash devices. Sure that the selected S25FL128 fits your board?

0x16 is EPCS64 silicon ID as far as I see.

Hi,

It seems that the flash device actually on board is EMCS64. (However, on the DE10nano design scheme, they put S25FL128.)

After updating the flash device, The following messages were: (See snapshot above as well)

Info (209060): Started Programmer operation at Tue Dec 31 09:44:49 2024
Info (209016): Configuring device index 2

Make sure all communication cables are securely connected, select a different device, check the power on the target system, or make sure all nCE pins are connected to GND.

Hi,
@BXia
itchalfon is trying "Examine" (flash read out). There's no .jic file specified then, read data can be written to file after successful reading.

@itchalfon

It's however not clear why the step causes JTAG chain error. Does the error also occurs with other actions, e.g. blank check?

Does it occur if you specify valid .jic file?

All snapshots with valid JIC file assigned.

Hi Itchalfon,

I hope you're doing well. I wanted to check in and see if there have been any updates on the suggestion provided by our community fellow above?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Fakhrul,

I have tried all of the above suggestions, but it still doesn’t work. I am unable to program the flash.

I also tried configuring the FPGA as the only device in the JTAG chain, but that didn’t work either.

Thanks,

Itshak

Hi itchalfon,

Could you try check this KDB, https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/programmable/articles/000076928.html.

Sounds tricky! It might be a hardware issue or a problem with the Quartus software version—updating or reinstalling could help.
