CFI 32-bit programming

Hello,

I'm trying to program a CFI 32-bit flash, composed by 2 16-bit flash in a parallel configuration, , using quartus_pgm/Nios Flash programmer (Quartus 18.1). Flash memories use AMD command set.

I set up a nios2 with a generic tristate controller that seems correctly configured and load at FPGA power on.

In fact the raw CFI table read by the programmer seems to be ok.

Any ideas of why this error is happening ?

Here a screenshot after the command "quartus_pgm --nios2 --base=0x800000 --program" is sent to the shell.

Thank you in advance. 

Nios Cpu

      Hi,

      the configuration you suggest is using a max cpld to program the CFI and this is not what I have in my Hardware.

      I've only a Cyclone V connected to the external 32 bit CFI Flash and I would like to program it by Nios Flash programmer.

      Is the 32 bit (16+16) with AMD command set actually supported by Nios Flash Programmer ?

      I'm not using PFL, I'm trying to use Nios Flash Programmer.

      Is the 32 bit CFI (16+16 configuration) with AMD command set actually supported by Nios Flash Programmer ?

    Hi


    Just to mention if you are trying to run the Nios from a combine 16+16 bit, it is not possible to run the Nios. It can only be run out from one 16 bit CFI.


    For flashing other than the Max10 the CFI will need to be program by an external programmer. Only the Max10 got the CPLD that is able to connect to the CFI.
