Generic Serial Flash Interface reading only 0's - Generic Serial Flash Interface reading only 0's Hi, I'm using the Cyclone 10 EVAL kit with the EP128A flash connected. I perform the following events and made sure that the csr /mem wait requests were low before issuing the next command, but only get all 0x00 for read responses (Signal Tap screenshots are attached): WR ENABLE: csr_addr: 0x07 csr_wr_data: 0x00000006 csr_addr: 0x08 csr_wr_data: 0x00000001 SECTOR 0 ERASE: csr_addr: 0x07 csr_wr_data: 0x000003D8 csr_addr: 0x09 csr_wr_data: 0x00000000 csr_addr: 0x08 csr_wr_data: 0x00000001 WR 4 BYTES OF DATA TO ADDR 0x4000: csr_addr: 0x04 csr_wr_data: 0x00000000 csr_addr: 0x00 csr_wr_data: 0x00000001 csr_addr: 0x06 csr_wr_data: 0x00000502 mem_addr:0x4000 mem_wr_data: 0x0011223 mem_addr:0x4000 mem_wr_data: 0x44556677 mem_addr:0x4000 mem_wr_data: 0x8899AABB mem_addr:0x4000 mem_wr_data: 0xCCDDEEFF READ DATA BACK: csr_addr: 0x04 csr_wr_data: 0x00000000 csr_addr: 0x00 csr_wr_data: 0x00000001 csr_addr: 0x05 csr_wr_data: 0x00000001 mem_addr:0x4000 Replies: Re: Generic Serial Flash Interface reading only 0's Hi Since this thread been resolve, I shall set this thread to close pending.

Regards Jingyang, Teh Replies: Re: Generic Serial Flash Interface reading only 0's So it seems the issue has been with Signal tap all along, when I changed my trigger conditions to make sure pivotal actions were hit, then set my Storage enables to output when the rising edge of "avl_mem_readdatavalid", I was able to see valid and correct read data from the Flash. Replies: Re: Generic Serial Flash Interface reading only 0's I added an additional Write Enable and Sector Unprotect command before the WR 4 BYTES OF DATA TO ADDR 0x4000, but still only reading back 0's. Added commands are below: WR ENABLE: csr_addr: 0x07 csr_wr_data: 0x00000006 csr_addr: 0x08 csr_wr_data: 0x00000001 SECTOR 0 UNPROTECT: csr_addr: 0x07 csr_wr_data: 0x00001001 csr_addr: 0x0A csr_wr_data: 0x00000000 csr_addr: 0x08 csr_wr_data: 0x00000001 Replies: Re: Generic Serial Flash Interface reading only 0's This one is supposed to use the active serial, is there something I need to set before hand that I possibly overlooked? Replies: Re: Generic Serial Flash Interface reading only 0's Looks better than your previous tries. Something is probably still missing . I'm not yet using General SFI IP, prefer simple and straightforward ASMI instead. I see that a lot of parameters has to be set.
