Loading preloader image to QSPI Flash for Booting

[Altera_Forum]

Hi, 

 I would like to request support for another issue on loading the QSPI flash memory of the Cyclone V SoC. As provided in the an709 document guide, the command for loading the QSPI flash is: quartus_hps -c 1 -o PV -a 0x0 preloader-mkpimage.bin   Execution of this command results in:   info:******************************************************************* info: running quartus ii 64-bit programmer  info: version 14.1.0 build 186 12/03/2014 sj full version  info: copyright (c) 1991-2014 altera corporation. all rights reserved.  info: your use of altera corporation's design tools, logic functions   info: and other software and tools, and its ampp partner logic   info: functions, and any output files from any of the foregoing   info: (including device programming or simulation files), and any   info: associated documentation or information are expressly subject   info: to the terms and conditions of the altera program license   info: subscription agreement, the altera quartus ii license agreement,  info: the altera megacore function license agreement, or other   info: applicable license agreement, including, without limitation,   info: that your use is for the sole purpose of programming logic   info: devices manufactured by altera and sold by altera or its   info: authorized distributors. please refer to the applicable   info: agreement for further details.  info: processing started: tue may 12 12:06:19 2015 info: command: quartus_hps -c 1 -o pv -a 0x0 preloader-mkpimage.bin current hardware is: cv sockit [usb-1] found hps at device 2 hps device idcode: 0x4ba00477 ahb port is located at port 0 apb port is located at port 1 boot info: 3.0v qspi flash clock select: 0  double aji delay - 1024 tcks start hps quad spi flash programming ... initialize qspi peripheral and flash controller ... read silicon id of quad spi flash ... error: fail to poll the qspi command execution status error: fail to read silicon id error: quartus ii 64-bit programmer was unsuccessful. 0 errors, 0 warnings  error: peak virtual memory: 115 megabytes  error: processing ended: tue may 12 12:06:20 2015  error: elapsed time: 00:00:01  error: total cpu time (on all processors): 00:00:00   I have enabled the QSPI flash controller in the HPS peripheral list. I built the preloader by selecting BOOT_FROM_QSPI option in the bsp-editor and further issuing "make" command in the spl_bsp directory.   Please advise on this issue. Thanks in advance.  Regards, Nitin.

Not sure if this helps, Below is a section of output when I program which might give you a clue to the cause.

sound like Quad spi access also failed. 

 may want to have a try on the general version from http://rocketboards.org/foswiki/view/documentation/gsrd131qspiboot
