How do I use N25Q512 Quad-SPI Flash, instead of ECPQ512?

I have a board designed to boot the Cyclone V FPGA from AS Flash, using a N25Q512A13G1240E chip instead of Altera's EPCQ512. (NB: This is a product, not a dev-kit) However, in Quartus Prime, th...

Oh, is it a new model? I don't recall an SE version. I wonder if Altera has tested programming a quad spi chip for that series.

What you've tried should have worked. I've been able to program the quad SPI on my SoCKit board using the instructions in the SoCKit user manual. It is a 256K chip.

Most projects use HPS to program the FPGA. Have you checked power supplies and clocks? These can prevent configuration. Is the HPS side working?
