ContributorNIOS 2 for QSPI boot
Hello,
We are trying to boot NIOS 2 processor from QSPI(EPCQ64ASI16N) on customized cyclone V board(HPS is not usable). As of now we are trying to perform a memory test on Nios2 processor, facing issues while testing qspi memory.
Below is the memory test log,
<----> Nios II Memory Test. <---->
This software example tests the memory in your system to assure it
is working properly. This test is destructive to the contents of
the memory it tests. Assure the memory being tested does not contain
the executable or data sections of this code or the exception address
of the system.
Press enter to continue or 'q' to quit.
Base address to start memory test: (i.e. 0x800000)
>0x800020
0x800020
End Address:
>0xFFFFFE
0xFFFFFE
Testing RAM from 0x800000 to 0xFFFFFE
-Data bus test failed at bit 0x1
Press enter to continue or 'q' to quit.
Base address to start memory test: (i.e. 0x800000)
>0x1040020
0x1040020
End Address:
>0x1060F73
0x1060F73
Testing RAM from 0x1040020 to 0x1060F73
-Data bus test passed
-Address bus test passed
-Byte and half-word access test passed
-Testing each bit in memory device.
