Accessing EPCS controller

Further testing revealed that opening the flash device fails.

I use following code and it compiles with no errors.

alt_flash_fd* fd;

int rval = 0xDEADBEEF;

fd = alt_flash_open_dev(EPCS_CONTROLLER_NAME);

if(fd) {

rval = alt_read_flash(fd, address, data, length);

alt_flash_close_dev(fd);

}

return rval;

PS. I can't select a reference designator for EPCS controller. I don't see why that would be a problem because I can generate sdk. I have only one cyclone2 and one EPCS16 on my board so why should anyone care what designator was used when board was designed.
