Agilex FSeries Dev Kit: Error (213013): Programming hardware cable not detected

[cbhowmik]

I get this error while trying to program the QSPI flash on my Agilex FSeries Transceiver Dev kit: 

cd $TOP_FOLDER
~/intelFPGA_pro/21.3/nios2eds/nios2_command_shell.sh  \
quartus_pgm -c 1 -m jtag -o "pvi;flash_image.jic"

 My SW1 setting is: OFF/OFF/OFF/ON to set the MSEL to JTAG. 

jtagconfig returns:

0341A0DD AGFB014(F25A|R24AR0)

031830DD 10M16S(A|C|L)

May i know have you tried to program SOF file? is it working fine?

No, I get a different error while programming the sof: "Detected a PMBUS error during configuration. Potential errors: VID setting is incorrect in the Intel Quartus Prime project. The target device fails to communicate to a smart regulator or PMBUS master on board."

I am using this guide https://rocketboards.org/foswiki/Projects/AgilexSoCWithNANDStorageOnHPS, and get the above error while running this command:

cd $TOP_FOLDER
~/intelFPGA_pro/21.3/nios2eds/nios2_command_shell.sh \
quartus_pgm --no_banner --mode=jtag -o "p;gilex_soc_devkit_ghrd/output_files/ghrd_agfb014r24a3e3vr0_hps_debug.sof"

I finally made this work somehow. I set the other switches to the configuration described in this document (https://rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/AgilexSoCGSRD#Creating_SD_Card)

Then the board switches need to be configured as follows:

• SW1: ON-OFF-OFF-ON
• SW2: all OFF
• SW3: OFF-OFF-ON-ON-ON-ON
• SW4: OFF-OFF-OFF-ON
• SW5: all OFF
• SW6: OFF-OFF-OFF-ON
• SW9: OFF-OFF
• SW10: OFF-ON
• and then changed SW1 to OFF/OFF/OFF/ON.

I am glad it works now. VID error is due to SDM IO setting in Quartus.

You may refer to the user guide at link below for VID setting:

https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/hb/agilex/ug-ag-pwr.pdf#page=46

Also, since you are using development kit. You may need to check the connection of SDM_IO0 - SDM_IO16 on schematic and set accordingly.
