error -- Flash & NIOS2 - Page 2

Altera_Forum · ‎07-02-2009

Hello to all,

i built a stand alone electronics with an EP2C8 fpga and an 2MB flash-ram. I flashed my EPCS4 device with my current design. By the way, i purchased a license for MegaCore functions and i have installed the license.

Now i want to flash the ram with the NIOS2 Flash Programmer, but it doesn't work. I got always the same error message.:(

#!/bin/sh# # This file was automatically generated by the Nios II IDE Flash Programmer.# # It will be overwritten when the flash programmer options change.#

There are no Nios II processors available which match the values specified.

Please check that your PLD is correctly configured, downloading a new SOF

file if necessary.

Have you guys any suggestions to solve this problem???

Many thank's for your help...

I'm afraid I'm out of ideas... The fact that you can read the CFI table in debug mode shows that the write signal is correctly connected to the flash, as you need it to go into CFI mode.

I don't think that it's necessary to create a pulse on the reset pin of the flash, but it certainly wouldn't hurt ;)
