EPCS quastion again

Is anyone try to work with EPCS4 on Cyclone6 FPGA from IDE programmer ?

I ask because i do step by step again and again all tasks from ug_nios2_flahs_programmer.pdf

to build my custom board - check asmi controller for EPCS4 configuration device selected

change in SPOC target board to new board

add epcs flash controller

and Timer (i'dont know why but without it IDE isn't compile C++ code if epcs controller present )- > regenerate sources

Run IDE - rebuild my SW project after setting storage for code to EPCS

Build where without problems

Run IDE frash programmer and click NEW and get new flash programming configuration

check - Write NIos2 FPGA configuration (SOF)

and press Programm flash

And get Next http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif

    I foggot to say

    I don&#39;t have tristate bridge

    And my custom board system have only 2 inputs

    CLK an reset

    Quatrus where not compile that project while i don&#39;t have at least one output

    So i connect one separate pin to ground

    AlexS,

    my design consists of a Cyclone C12 and a EPCS4. Because I don&#39;t have an additional FLASH, I&#39;ve tried also to make a custom board without any peripheral and ... got the same failure as you. As soon as I added a avalon tristate bridge (and a slave peripheral) the flash programmer works without these errors while verifying.
