Hi jesper,

I am struck in trying to boot from qspi nor flash connected to HPS of cyclone VSOC. My code works fine in debug mode. But when i make it to boot automatically from qspi flash, the system doesnt boot on its own. my jumper settings are correct and flash is also compatible with intel ICs.

The aim is to boot the system using qspi flash without using u boot or linux. I want my application to boot. The procedure is as follows.

  1. Generated preloader-mkpimage.bin file using bsp editor with option boot from qspi
  2. loaded this preloader-mkpimage.bin file at 0x00000000 of qspi flash using command in soceds commands shell - quartus_hps -c 1 -o P preloader-mkpimage.bin
  3. compiled by design in ds5 to obtain my_file.axf
  4. converted my_file.axf to my_file.bin using command arm-altera-eabi-objcopy.exe -O binary my_file.axf my_file.bin
  5. loaded my_file.bin into the 0x00060000 address of qspi flash.
  6. restarted the system .

System is not booting from qspi flash. No information in uart also.

Please guide

Regards

AKB
