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...

2 - Once this is done, you should be able to detect the JTAG chain and then appear the ARRIA10 + EPCQL-512 in the Programmer

3 - Program the FLASH with the .jic file (Disable EPCS ID checked, Disable CONF_DONE checked) through the programmer : Quartus read the ID=0x20 (capacity of the FLASH=512M)

I will try to attach a screenshot but I don' know how to do that for the moment....

I also think this way would be OK, I have tested it on Cyclone IV with N25q128
