Having trouble programming the QSPI flash.

[mkalajian]

Hi all, 

I have a zc702 based device that I need to boot from flash.  The device works perfectly when I load the PL bitstream through JTAG with "Xilinx Tools" -> "Program FPGA" in SDK, and then run my application (again, .elf file loaded through SDK).

I need this to all happen from the flash, so I tried generating a .mcs file with the tool

and then loading that through "Xilinx Tools" -> "Program Flash"

Yet it always fails to verify.  It worked once in the past, but I can no longer get it to work.

Please, any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Can you post the error log/ screenshot?

Can you check with SDK 2013.4?

I am able to create the mcs image without any issues.

[mkalajian]

Same problem.

I can create the .mcs file fine, but the flashing is not working.

I have used a scope and am observing that the FPGA is not asserting the DQ1 signal (C, DQ0, S_B, all work)

What would cause this behavior??? 

[muzaffer]

I think there is an option to pass to bitgen for wider than 1 bit flash.

[glester]

This might be a bit late, but we were directed to http://www.xilinx.com/support/answers/59275.htm, which worked (intended for 2013.3, and also ok for 2013.4).

Unable to boot FSBL from QSPI(FL256S ) on zc7020(ZED)

TEST1:

FSBL.ELF+system.bit+USERAPP.elf =>BOOT.BIN to SD card boot is normal

FSBL.ELF+system.bit+USERAPP.elf =>BOOT.mcs to QSPI  boot is normal .

TEST2:

FSBL.ELF+system.bit+u-boot.elf =>BOOT.BIN to SD card boot is normal

FSBL.ELF+system.bit+u-boot.elf =>BOOT.mcs to QSPI  is Unable to boot.

bit have  run ,done led is light.

Please tell me what the problem is.
