hamster Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 I don't see an erase cycle in there - as Jack usually says, select expert mode, restart the programmer app, and make sure you erase then write. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_C Posted December 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 that was exactly the issue! thanks so much! I do wonder why "normal" mode doesn't do an erase as a matter of course, a write without erase isn't really much use! unless you are programming different sections of the flash but then by definition that's advanced and anyhow it could be a partial erase no?

Jack Gassett Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Arghhh! I still need to dig into that, I was supposed to work on something fun today, a wishbone waveform generator, but I guess I better look at Papilio Loader instead... Jack.

Chris_C Posted December 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 owch did I spoil your fun, mind you I bet you, getting the pap programmer working for the first time was a buzz! I like the way it programs the fpga to take over the jtag pins for some functions and that you can do a number of different things not just send a bit pattern, its always worth improving a nice tool...
