quartus_pgm flash erase command line for stratix10 flash

The command fails with JTAG error, but the programmation command works fine see below :

/home/intelFPGA_pro/19.4/qprogrammer/quartus/bin/quartus_pgm -c 1 -m JTAG --erase_all
Error (213040): Can't access JTAG chain -- check programming hardware connections, power, and board integrity

Hi Ash_R,

I did not found any solution.

It helps me a lot if you can find this quarstus_pgm command line that would allow to erase a stratix10 flash without launching a new programmation

Best Regards,

Damien

Hi,

Hi,

I have now the solution :

command to erase a stratix 10 flash is :

quartus_pgm -c 1 -m JTAG -o 'RI;'file.jic

The only tricky thing is that a valid jic file is needed even if you do not request any programmation.

Regards,

Damien
