NIOS II - Hanging on ECPQ / SPI initialization
- 5 years ago
Thanks for your time, but I was actually able to find the solution to this recently.
As it turns out, the issue was entirely configuration related. We added the EPCQ IP to the build, but forgot to actually flash the chip with the new fabric image. So we were trying to access EPCQ registers but the fabric image didn't know how to handle it.
So if you see this issue, make sure you have the latest and greatest fabric flashed onto your device! This was entirely the source if my issue.
Hi @NRugg,
Thank you for posting in Intel community forum and hope this message find you well.
What are the configuration device used?
Which hardware board are involved and also which version of quartus are involved?
Note: on for the time being maybe would recommend to refer to the link here for EPCS guide which contain the details configuration steps.
Warm regards.
