    Hello sir,

    Kindly check the following items:

    1- Make sure you use a clock source to Serial Flash controller IP (EPCQ) up to 25MHz (MAX).

    2- Make sure your Nios II is running at 50MHz.

    3- Make sure the MSEL is pointing to the correct flash configuration:

    If using QUAD, MSEL should be 10010

    If using STANDARD, MSEL should be 10011

    Please let me know if this could help you.

    Thanks

->When I select reset vector to ecpq address, I cannot debug Nios with Jtag, but I think this is normal.. to debug it, I need to restore reset vector to original OCRAM.. so boot is not debuggable anyway...

->I checked the epcq_controller2_0.hex, obviously it is very little in size,

about 56k... my onchip ram is 200k so the problem is not here....
