Flash programmer and non CFI flash

the flash programmer only supports epcs serial configuration eeproms and cfi flash memory. the flash programmer code, best i can tell, is not open-source, preventing support of other types of flash.

i've been down this road with the epc16; we could only use the quartus ii programmer to program it.

it would be nice if they released the source for the slave programmer (the one that gets loaded on the altera by the flash programmer), but i'm not holding my breath.

I have read on Altera documentation that are only supported AMD and INTEL CFI compliant flash memories.

I have tryed, infact, to drive an ST 29LV800 CFI compliant memory but the ALTERA module seems to not work,

the flash programmer doesn't synchronize with the memory.

As soon as possible I will try with an AMD 29LV016 and I will let you know...

there is anyone experienced?
