Xilinx | First bitstream doesn't load

Open ame-essi-instr opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Hello,

I use .mcs file to write new blank spi flash (s25fl256s), but if I do not flash .mcs file with Vivado and Xilinx probe before (for the first time only) to use Openfpgaloader the bitstream isn't load from the flash by the FPGA.

I run the command: sudo openFPGALoader -c ft4232 --ftdi-channel 0 --fpga-part xc7a200tfbg484 --bulk-erase sudo openFPGALoader -c ft4232 --ftdi-channel 0 --fpga-part xc7a200tfbg484 --write-flash "00020015.mcs"

Is it another command to run first? (After a first Vivado Flash I can write flash with Openfpgaloader without problem).

Thanks Regards

Start first with detect: openFPGALoader -c ft4232 --ftdi-channel 0 --detect If successfull, otherwise fix openFPGALoader -c ft4232 --ftdi-channel 0 /spiOverJtag_xc7a200tfbg484.bit.gz -f "00020015.mcs" Check output if flash is recognized Eventually add the board so you can run with -b
