Internal Error: ECC error while booting the SoC from a NAND flash in Intel® Arria®10 SoC

Description

This error appears while using the quartus_hps to program the flash. In case the flash device has bad sectors, the quartus_hps wouldn't be able to deal with these bad sectors. The quartus_hps will copy files but some of them might get corrupted. This gives the following error:

jiffs2: mtd->read,0x.. Bytes from 0x…… returned ECC error

Resolution

To overcome this error, use the DS-5 debugger and U-Boot to program the flash on an Intel® Arria® 10 FPGA board.
