flash programmer issue
- 1 year ago
Thank you for your reply!
In this thread, I was told the flash M25P64 is not compatible: https://community.intel.com/t5/Nios-V-II-Embedded-Design-Suite/Target-is-broken-and-needs-to-be-reset/td-p/1688694
Corrently, I did the following experiments:
experiment 1: program sof file to FPGA successfully, and FPGA works as expected output.
experiment 2: click Auto Detect button on Quartus-->Tools --> Programmer, digital signal could be observed on the data pin of the connection from FPGA to flash, but not clock on the clk pin from FPGA to flash.
experiment 3: convert sof file to jic file, and add jic file to Quartus-->Tools --> Programmer, and click start button. no digital signal on the data pin of FPGA and flash connection, no clk was sent out from the SPI of FPGA and flash as well. Failed was seen on Programmer tools. no more information was seen.
From those above experiments, I guess FPGA was not successfully started or initialized?
we just now solved this issue.
The solution is to change PS model of FPGA to AS model. we can now burn flash by JTAG after this change.
the flash M25P63 is set to PECS64 which is compatible and works.
Thank you both any way!
Thank you for sharing the workaround—I’m glad it’s enabled you to connect to the flash successfully.
