    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

SOLVED! I want say THANKS to MR. Fjumaah. He find quickly some issues on our project with well-maked tests. After these correction (Flash controller clock was too high, set to 25 Mhz, Quad mode was not possible , due to MSEL selection = standard) , ECPQ flash can be seen from Nios SW in Eclipse. After these adjustments, now the system boot correctly with boot copier: it runs fine both to on-chip and to ext sdram.

GREAT

THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR GREAT SUPPORT
