Programming non volatile memory of FPGA Devkit - Intel Arria 10 soc devkit

Hello, I have an Intel Arria 10 soc devkit (Arria 10 GX devkit - DK-DEV-10AX115S-A) I have success with programming a basic sof and have seen its behavior. I would now like to program the volatile ...

Hi,

I was able to program .jic using active serial mode.

SW5 ( MSEL (2:0)) = 010 for Active Serial Fast mode

SW4.2 = ON to disable Max V from the JTAG chain

SW6.4 = OFF to load user image from flash.

couldn't figure out .pof solution yet. but this ticket can be closed now.

thanks

Hi,
there's a similar thread about .pof programming of this board, however not yet solved. https://community.intel.com/t5/Programmable-Devices/Flash-memory-not-detected-Arria-10-Development-kit/m-p/1534599
Selecting AS configuration works for this board because it has dual configuration flash, PP + AS.
AS configuration may be too slow to get PCIe recognized at power-on, depending on BIOS Features. Therefore PP may be preferred.


I don't have this board and can't tell if MAX V PFL implementation supports .pof programming, it basically should.


You may also want configuration update without USB-Blaster being involved. In this case, flash update has to be implemented in Arria 10, either in HDL logic or soft processor.
