Cmod A7 programming

[Billel]

Hello everyone
I am working on a project based on Microblaze, which I want to implement later on an FPGA circuit of type CmodA7-35t. My objective is to make the PFGA work under an external power supply and not with USB. I am now looking to find a solution to program the FPGA in Quad SPI Flash mode. On the Digilent references I found the following example:
https://reference.digilentinc.com/learn/programmable-logic/tutorials/cmod-a7-programming-guide/start.
My question is how I can do it from the SDK since the project includes BLOCK DESIGN in addition to a C application under SDK. I will be very grateful if someone can guide me or direct me to a tutorial.
Thank you so much.

Hi,

isn't there a SDK menu option "Xilinx/program flash"? I'm checking this from a Zynq project but I think it looks the same.

Hint, if you run into weird tool issues during the programming process, make sure the Vivado-side hardware manager is not interfering with the device.

Hi @Billel,

I would recommend taking a look at our How to Store Your SDK Project in SPI Flash tutorial, as well as this tutorial from Avnet that goes into much more detail on the options and how the values are chosen.

Thanks,
JColvin
