I just can't program it through the flash programmer. I have tried building a simple "hello world". It works fine. I've added a SDRAM-driver-module. It works fine to. I've modified the flash-drivers and successfully compiled the hello_flash-program. And it reports that all flash-tests completed successfully. So the custom board "seems" to be working.... The firmware_ROM-file. Is it precompiled? That is - do my modified flash-drivers get used at all or does the flash programmer use Altera's own flash-drivers? ... and if the firmware_ROM is precompiled is it possible to get the source code for it so I could recompile it with my new flash-driver? ... or is it possible to activate some sort of debug-mode so I can se exactly HOW far the flash-programmer gets before it dies?
