Cyclone V - Active Serial using MT25Q. Do you connect AS_DATA0 to the DQ0 on the chip?

[TMayd]

Now that the Micron MT25Q are validated to work with active serial I was just wondering for the MT25QL128 chip if I route it similarly as I would have wired the EPCQ devices? I am just a bit overwhelmed with the mismatching documentation I'm seeing everywhere to properly configure the cyclone v now.

Hi TMayd,

Yes, you are correct. The pin connection for MT25Q devices should be similar as with the EPCQ pin connection to the Cyclone V device. You can actually refer to the Stratix V development kit schematic on the connection since it is using NT25Q256 device for AS configuration.

Thank you, this is perfect. In my "Device and Pin Options" I would select active serial x4 but then it doesn't give me the option to choose my MT25Q configuration device? Do I just select auto? Do potentially have access to development kit for a Cyclone VE that could also share? Again thank you for your support.

Hi TMayd,

You need to use Convert Programming File utilities in Quartus Prime v18.1 to generate the programming files (.jic/.pof) for MT25QL devices. You can refer to the attached screen shot.
