I do though like to know what TEST program you mean. You have to be more specific. Do I understand that you ran some flash programmer test program on the flash? If thats the case this may be the cause of your trouble: you have overwritten /erased the safe boot image. In that case you got FAE written all over your problem! The safe image is loaded upon reset into stratix without JP18 in place and contains most likely a nios procssor which receives commands and data from the write2flash_s80_v3.exe/write2flash_s25_v3.exe. Commands which will load data into the flash at some address (unfortunately undocumented as far as I know). An address which is used as starting base when a power up is done with JP18 in place. JP18 holds A21 (STD brd) A22 (Pro brd)=GND when in place if out, A21/A22 =VCC, so the safe boot is somewhere at a high address. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div> --- Quote Start --- how can i get the missed .dll file,can you send me a copy?[/b] --- Quote End --- Can you start the write2flash_S25_v3.exe/write2flash_S80_v3.exe program at all? If you can then you have the DLL on your system somewhere adn this is not a problem. If not it will tell you very explicitly that it needs xxxx.dll. I dont recall at this place what the file is named. Try search internet for the file in that case. Anyway, this has _nothing_ to do with your problem on your boards in any case.
