Image file generation for non-Altera serial configuration devices

Altera_Forum · ‎12-13-2011

Hi,

I am using AIIGX fpga along with serial configuration device from Micron. We are using AS configuration mode, in relation to this I have following queries, any help on this would be appreciated.

1. Is AIIGX fpga support non-Altera serial configuration devices?

2. If it is possible then how can I generate a bit stream target to non-EPCS part (in my case Micron device, data sheet attached)?

3. Is there any particular care needed on PCB level to handle above scenario?

Thanks,

R Shaik.

Hi,

Yea I know this is really disappointing but in AS mode you probably have to go with the Altera serial configuration devices. Maybe it is possible with a third party SPI flash but there is no documentation and support for this. So it is your risk to try it.

Check these links:

* configuration comparison (http://www.altera.com/support/devices/configuration/cfg-compare.html)

* arria ii configuration handbook (http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/arria-ii-gx/aiigx_51009.pdf)

Instead of guessing,I suggest to search the forum for M25P32, preferably start reading the newest entry. The question had been definitely answered.
