MAX10 with parallel flash chip

[sRama28]

is it possible to boot NIOS processor in MAX 10 FPGA with Parallel flash chip (adding tristate controller IP in QSYS) ?

i know EPCS or UFM memory is possible but i want to know the external flash is possible or not .please confirm?

NO .i want to know is it possible to boot NIOS from external IO flash using srec file .? NOT EPCS and MICRON FLASH.

Hi, Sathish

May I know what do you mean by IO flash ?

Thanks.

Hi, Sathish

You can boot Nios II with MAX10 FPGA from an external parallel flash.

You may refer to below for the implementation:
