5.11. Flash Memory

The development board has two 1-Gbit CFI compatible synchronous flash device for non-volatile storage of the FPGA configuration data, board information, test application data and user code space.

Two Flash devices are implemented to achieve a 32-bit wide data bus at 16 bits each per device. The target device is a Micron PC28F00AP30BF CFI Flash device. Both MAX V CPLD and Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA can access this Flash device. MAX V CPLD accesses will be for FPP configuration of the FPGA at power-on and board reset events. This will use the Intel PFL Megafunction. Arria 10 GX FPGA access to the FLASH’s user space will be done by Nios® II for the BUP application. The flash will be wired for WORD mode operation to support FPPx32 download directly.

The table below shows the memory map for the on-board flash. This memory will provide non-volatile storage for two FPGA bit-streams as well as various settings for data used for the BUP image and on-board devices such as PFL configuration bits.

Each FPGA bit stream can be a maximum of 254.25 Mbits (or less than 32 MBytes) for the Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA device. The remaining area will be designated as RESERVED flash area for storage of the BUP image and PFL configuration settings, software binaries and other data relevant to the FPGA design.

- When using a single x16 flash device a word consists of 16 data bits so addressing starts with FM_A1 mapped to address bit 1 in software. When using dual x16 flash devices for an equivalent x32 (x16||x16) flash device a word consists of 32 data bits so addressing starts with FM_A1 mapped to address bit 2 in software.
