EPCS Flash Programmer

Altera_Forum · ‎09-25-2010

Hello,

I am using Stratrix II EP2S180F1020. UFM device used here is EPM240GT100. I am running a simple Hello World Program.

When I select the device and try to Program it Through Flash Programmer I get these message.

Executing command: bin2flash --input="C:/aAJIT/quartus/ravi-flash1-new/software/ravi_flash5/hello_world.c" --output="C:/aAJIT/quartus/ravi-flash1-new/software/ravi_flash5_bsp/flash/hello_world_e.flashs.flashontroller.flash" --location=0x0 --verbose

The flash programmer (AFAIK) is only intended for EPCS devices. You'll have to figure out another way to program the UFM on your MaxII device. Have a look at AN489 for reference.
