Hi,

I am currently working on a similar project and have the same problem. My board consists of a MAX2 EPM570T100 connected to a 16Mbit CFI Flash Nymonyx M29W160ET. I created the PFL Instances in several ways with the wizard. But no matter which output files are created, the synthesis works without errors. But after succesful programm and verify the flash is not recognized. I already defined the IC in the dialog.

When I use the "Auto Detect" feature of the programmer, i get an "Unexpected error in JTAG server -- error code 1" after a few seconds. If I add the flash to the clpd by hand, i experience the same problem like the initial poster. The silicon ID cannot be recognized and the operation fails.

Is there a certain version of quartus that i have to use, to get it working? I am currently using 12.0sp2 because of the interoperability with other design software. The created qip file is set as top level design.

I hope somebody can help me to find a solution for this.

Thanks!

Alexander
