How to bring-up an Intel Cyclone 10 LP device

Hi there I received our first prototype PCBs with an Intel Cyclone 10 LP device (10CL006YE144C8G) equipped. Since a few days I'm trying to bring-up this FPGA device, but I was not successful and...

Hi,


Thank you for contacting Intel community.


For active serial configuration, you will need to generate JIC programming file instead of POF programming file. Try:

Also, have you refer to device design guidelines:

Pin connection guideline:

Let me know your feedback.


Thanks.


Regards,

Aiman

    Hi Aiman

    Thanks for your pointers and suggestions.

    I had a hard time figuring out our problem with that FPGA, but I finally did it:

    We did not have the thermal pad connected to GND in the design. Because of this, the JTAG programming and Active Serial programming did not work.

    Another problem we encountered was that when programming the external flash chip from an MCU, we have to bit-flip each byte in the programming file before writing.

    Cheers, Stefan
