I want to make a .sof file containing the Intel serial flash loader IP.
Then I want to program the fpga with this .sof file, and after that, program the EPCQ64 of the development kit with a .jic file containing my system.
I'm confuced when it comes to how I connect the fpga pins to the Serial flash loader ip.
The inputs/outputs of the flash loader looks like this:
module FlashLoader (
input wire asdo_in, // asdo_in.sdoin
input wire asmi_access_granted, // asmi_access_granted.asmi_access_granted
output wire asmi_access_request, // asmi_access_request.asmi_access_request
output wire data0_out, // data0_out.data0out
input wire dclk_in, // dclk_in.dclkin
input wire ncso_in, // ncso_in.scein
input wire noe_in // noe_in.noe
);
I know you can program the .jic file to the EPCQ64 using quartus programming tool which seems to program the fpga with a serial flash loader. However, I want to do this manually for better understanding and to be able to make scripts for the programming.
There might be something fundamental I do not understand since I'm new to both FPGA and quartus.
