Hello
I m Newbie

I am trying to configure EP2AGX Arria® II GX using EPM240 Max ii CPLD and on board CFI Flash js28f256m29ewh using PFL IP.

In my case our custom Board flash Address bus 24bit bus and Data 8bit Bus from FPGA conected as per PFL requirement

but  in case of CPLD only connected with 24bit Addresses  to Flash and Data bus is not contected between CPLD and CFI Flash

Hi

Sir

Thanks for your reply

In my case I wrote my above post our custom board doesn't have directly CPLD to CFI data port there 

thats why I am confused how to define PFL_flash_data [0] to  PFL_flash_data[7] in PFL? CFI flash D15 also connected with CPLD.

PFL_flash_addr[0] to PFL_flash_addr[24] CPLD to CFI connected there

all require another pin connected between CPLD and CFI Flash like nce,we,oe  etc 

Thanks

Hi Nome,


No connection is needed between Arria II and flash, this is because it will be control by PFL and CPLD(Max 10) to load in Arria II.

Hello
Thanks for your reply
sir i am not talking about connection between Arria fpga and flash.
I am talking about data bus between cpld max II and flash
if we doesn't have physically data bus between Max II and flash how pfl will work?
Thanks
