12 years ago --- Quote Start --- Still have not solved my issue. --- Quote End --- Sorry to hear that. --- Quote Start --- I had the boards X-rayed and I got the 3rd board up and running, but they all have the same issue so I am assuming the IC's are likely alright. --- Quote End --- This statement is a little unclear. If you got a 3rd board "up and running", what did you change? Can you "break" it, and then "fix" it? --- Quote Start --- I have not gotten to trying to readback the data in my EPCS yet. --- Quote End --- If you have a 3rd board "up and running", then that implies the EPCS image has been created ok. --- Quote Start --- Q1: What is the logic that produces Config_Done. Is it parity, is it a proper byte count, does the memory fuel gauge have to reach "full"? --- Quote End --- You'll never get info on this. Its Altera "secret sauce" :) --- Quote Start --- Q2: How do I use the advanced setting in the "Convert Programming File Utility", particularly 1. Program Length Count Adjustment 2. Post-chain bitstream pad bytes 3. Bit-Slice padding value --- Quote End --- I've never had to use any. For my PS and FPP configuration images, I simple concatenate the .rbf files and program them into the devices, eg.,
puts " - Creating the configuration file data_power.bin"
exec cat data1.rbf data2.rbf data3.rbf data4.rbf > data_power.bin
