Program Cora Z7 Quad-SPI flash memory

[eflyzhao]

Hi,

I want to program the quad-spi flash on Cora Z7 board with my FPGA and SDK designs. But I couldn't find the detail on the flash memory chip. Could you please provide me the instruction on how to program this flash memory? Thank you.

Hi @eflyzhao,

Looking at the Cora Z7 reference manual, Digilent store page and schematic I am not seeing a qspi flash IC on the Cora Z7.

Please attach a link to where you are referencing this quote.

To boot a project on power up you will need to use the SD. Here is an older tutorial for the Zedboard that is still relevant for the process of making a BOOT.BIN and adding it to the SD card.

best regards,

Jon

I will try the SD card method. Thank you very much.
