HI,
I'm trying to program a Quickfeather Sparkfun board using Tynifpga-programmer, but without success.

First I can not get the breathing green led as expected when pressing the user button. LED come fixed green for a time, thne blue is blinking again, and finally switch off.
I got the serial link well configured and can interact with the board through the terminal.
I got:
Sparkfun thing+ LED / User Button Test
SW Version: qorc-sdk/qt-apps/qt_helloworldsw
May 10 2021

then the command line is working fine.

When programming (or trying), I use:

Code: Select all

qfprog --port /dev/ttyACM0 --m4app ./output/qf_helloworldsw.bin --mode m4

and I get:

Code: Select all

CLI mode
ports =  ['/dev/ttyACM0 (QuickFeather)'] 1

and nothing more

Any idea to see if all is well programmed or how to make it happening?

Thanks.

Cyril

Hi Cyril, I am having the same issue, flashing freezing up on the FastREAD stage. Did you ever manage to resolve this at all?

Same here. I don't think Quicklogic has supported these boards very much over time

I believe that you need to update the FPGA firmware. I know that this is the case with QuickFeather board. I will test and update some additional information.

How is the update?

Hello,
I have the same problem and wanted to join this forum to get answers but it seems to be inactive

Hi Cyril,

It sounds like you're encountering a few issues with the programming process. Here are a couple of suggestions:

Check Connections: Ensure that all connections to the QuickFeather board are secure and that the correct USB port is being used.

Firmware Update: Verify if there’s a firmware update available for your board or the Tynifpga programmer. Sometimes compatibility issues can arise from outdated software.

Binary File: Double-check that the qf_helloworldsw.bin file is correctly compiled and not corrupted. You might want to try programming a simple example first to see if the board responds.

Logs: Look for any additional logs or error messages that might provide more context on where the process is failing.

Let us know how it goes!

Best,
