Honored ContributorNeed help about flash programmer
I'm using QuartusII4.2+sp1,NiosII1.1,ByteBlasterII cable, and an EP1C12F324 on my custom board.
I built a flash programmer design as the "NiosII Flash Programmer user guide" instructs(I use a flash and an EPCS4), then I build my system with this board. After every thing is done, I launch the flash programmer and want to program the software and the hardware image into epcs, it tells me that "Unrecognized EPCS device ID: -1". I'm sure that the EPCS and FPGA is OK, 'cause it can config my FPGA when I program the .pof into it. What's wrong with my EPCS?? The following is the message from the Flash programmer: <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div> --- Quote Start --- #! /bin/sh# # This file was automatically generated by the Nios II IDE Flash Programmer.# # It will be overwritten when the flash programmer options change.# cd H:/Year2005/February/Feb21/System_case7/Test_case04/software/System_case7_tes t_case04_soft2/Debug # Creating .flash file for the FPGA configuration $SOPC_KIT_NIOS2/bin/sof2flash --flash=U4 --offset=0x00000000 --epcs --input=H:/Y ear2005/February/Feb21/System_case7/Test_case04/Test_case04.sof --output=Test_ca se04.flash Info: ******************************************************************* Info: Running Quartus II Convert_programming_file Info: Command: quartus_cpf --no_banner --convert --device=EPCS16 --option=Test_c ase04.opt H:/Year2005/February/Feb21/System_case7/Test_case04/Test_case04.sof Te st_case04.pof Info: Quartus II Convert_programming_file was successful. 0 errors, 0 warnings Info: Processing ended: Wed Jun 08 18:01:31 2005 Info: Elapsed time: 00:00:01 Info: ******************************************************************* Info: Running Quartus II Convert_programming_file Info: Command: quartus_cpf --no_banner --convert Test_case04.pof Test_case04.rpd Info: Quartus II Convert_programming_file was successful. 0 errors, 0 warnings Info: Processing ended: Wed Jun 08 18:01:32 2005 Info: Elapsed time: 00:00:01 WARNING: Default charset GBK not supported, using ISO-8859-1 instead # Programming flash with the FPGA configuration $SOPC_KIT_NIOS2/bin/nios2-flash-programmer --input=Test_case04.flash --sof=h:/Ye ar2005/February/Feb21/System_case7/USB_Buf_Ver01/system/USB_Buf_Ver01.sof --epcs Jun 8, 2005 6:01:33 PM - (??) nios2-flash-programmer: Launching Quartus Programm er to download: h:/Year2005/February/Feb21/System_case7/USB_Buf_Ver01/system/USB_Buf_Ver01. sof Unrecognized EPCS device ID: -1 Jun 8, 2005 6:01:52 PM - (??) nios2-flash-programmer: Error opening target hardw are Jun 8, 2005 6:01:52 PM - (??) nios2-flash-programmer: Unable to open flash-de vice after successfully communicating with target. It is likely that you are using a flash-programming FPGA design which was not created for your target board. In order to program flash, you must first create a purpose-built flash-programming design (i.e. FPGA configuration) and associate it with your particular board. The Nios development kit is delivered with purpose-bui lt flash-programming designs pre-built for several development boards. If you wi sh to program flash on your own board, you must first create a flash-programming design. The process of creating a flash-programming design for your board is mostly automated.
