netfpga-1g-cml NetFPGA-1G-CML BPI flash with Vivado

[nettimelogic]

Hi

I tried to flash the BPI flash on the NetFPGA-1G-CML board from Vivado but it will not boot from the BPI flash eventhough it says flashing was succesfull. It looks like the FPGA is completly unconfigured.
I couldn't find a tutorial how to flash the NetFPGA-1G-CML from Vivado. Can you explain me what I did wrong or do you have a tutorial on how to flash the BPI flash on the NetFPGA-1G-CML from Vivado. I could find some trutorial for ISE but that is not a way forward for me.

I use Vivado v2017.4 and when I program the FPGA with the bitstream via JTAG it works fine.

What I did:

1. I generated a .bin file as part of the generate bitstream process:

 

2. I added the BPI flash device (28f00ap30t-bpi-x16 acording to schematics):

3. Flashed the BPI flash:

4. Which was succesful:

5. Then I did a powercycle but my bitstream is not loaded (there is a blinking led when my bitstream is loaded and this I don't see)

 

Thanks for you help.

 

Best regards

Hi @nettimelogic,

Digilent handles support for issues with the hardware on the NetFPGA-1G-CML . NetFPGA-1G-CML Wiki here handles support for the software and demo's. The NetFPGA-1G-CML Wiki community is the most familiar with using the NetFPGA SUME.  I would make sure the NetFPGA-G-CML is set to BPI configuration mode.

thank you,

Jon

Hi

I managed to get it working.

Set the Config Voltage and Bank as well as the mode to Synchronous Mode TYPE1

Set the Configuration to Master BPI x16

Then generate you MCS and flash this.

Best regards

Hi @nettimelogic,

Glad you were able to get your flash project working.  Thank you for sharing what you did to to get your project working!

cheers,

Jon
