Unable to use EPCS device

Hello, 

 

I am getting some experience with Altera FPGA's and ran into the following 

issue. 

 

I want to program FPGA configuration data (NIOS II processor) and the program into the EPCS memory on my DEx-board. 

I want to do this with the NIOS II Flash Programmer. 

When running this program I got the following error: 

EPCS signature is 0x16 

EPCS identifier is 0xC22017 

No EPCS layout data - looking for section [EPCS-C22017] 

Unable to use EPCS device. 

 

When I add the next lines to the "nios2-flash-override.txt"-file I got the error : Syntax error in override file (line 2) when reading the file. 

 

*# EPCS1N (lead-free) sector_size = 32768 sector_count = 4 *# EPCS4N (lead-free) sector_size = 65536 sector_count = 8 *# EPCS16N (lead-free) sector_size = 65536 sector_count = 32 *# EPCS64N (lead-free) sector_size = 65536 sector_count = 128  

Can anybody help me with the newby question? 

 

Thank you and best regards,

Hello, 

 

For some reason I have mixed up some numbers. 

After adding the following line everything works ok: 

 

C22017] *# EPCS64N (lead-free) sector_size = 65536 sector_count = 128  

 

Best regards,
