3 years ago Hey @aleixrocks have another look at the image in the procedure doc - you need to use the header beside the one you're using to program the FPGA to program the eFP6 🙂
The error you're getting is saying its found the wrong part, the eFP6 uses a SmartFusion2 which is the M2S025 device its unable to find.

3 years ago Hi @hughbreslin! Thank you for the quick response and the explanation of the error.
Indeed I was using the wrong header :man_facepalming: . However, although no more errors are shown in the FlashPro Express software, I'm still unable to write the eFP6_revB_TAG_v4_ppd.job job. FlashPro Express gets stuck with 0% progress for more than 20 minutes as shown below. The external FLashPro5 hardware "Activity" led blinks.

3 years ago Can you please check if jumper J9 and J24 are closed?

3 years ago Yes, both J9 and j24 are closed. I'm attaching a picture of my setting. Also, I made sure that the small arrow on the blue connector of the ribbon cable plugs on the arrow printed on the pcb of the header.

3 years ago After the failed attempts to upload the eFP6_revB_TAG_v4_ppd.job, the embedded FlashPro 6 is no longer being recognized by the kernel and, therefore, not usable by the FlashPro Express software.

3 years ago I think that's right, this issue is not related to reference design. Please contact the customer support and we will address this separately.

When trying to update the "SoC-FPGA + zero-stage bootloader FlashPro Express programming file" (https://github.com/polarfire-soc/polarfire-soc-documentation/blob/master/boards/mpfs-icicle-kit-es/updating-icicle-kit/updating-icicle-kit-design-and-linux.md) for eMMC on my MPFS-ICICLE-KIT-ES-FP5 using FlashPro Express 12.6 I get the following error:
Following the instructions in this document's
Embedded FlashPro 6section, I try to upload thehttps://download-soc.microsemi.com/FPGA/v12.5/sp1/eFP6_revB_TAG_v4_ppd.job
file using the external FlashPro 5 hardware and FlashPro Express 12.6 software. However, I got the error:
When using FlashPro Express 12.5 software I get the error:
Nonetheless, I'm able to write the "SoC-FPGA + zero-stage bootloader FlashPro Express programming file" into the polarfire without issues using the embedded flashPro 6 hardware and the FlashPro Express 12.5 software.
Therefore, I'm unable to use the embedded flashPro 6 with modern FlashPro Express software because (it seems) that I cannot update the eFP6_revB_TAG_v4_ppd.job. Is this file compatible with my icicle kit? Is there something that I'm missing?
Thank you!
