You can use the tool to flash firmware on multiple boards in quick succession, and this method is especially handy for this serial bulk programming use. It directly accesses the boot flash chip and the board remains unpowered. X1 Untitled The tutorial will update the firmware on a MinnowBoard development board using a DediProg SF100, an SPI Flash programming tool. X1 Dediprog SF100 SPI Flash programming tool The SF100 is a high speed “In System Programming” programmer to update the SPI Flash soldered on board the MinnowBoard development board. The programmer is easily controlled by your host computer using the DediProg Software through the USB bus. You will use your separate development system to connect to the DediProg SF100 tool to program the flash chip on the board. Tools Host Computer or Laptop The MinnowBoard development board is unpowered for this tutorial.Download the appropriate one for your host system below: X1 Software components DediProg SF100 Application software DediProg provides application software for Windows and Linux. If you don’t have a board yet, and view links on where to buy them in your geographic region. When that is the case, the tutorial calls out this component, reflecting that any one of the board variants will work. It takes only 36 LEs for SPI flash controller, or 53 LEs for MMC SPI controller in an Altera CycoloneIII SOPC project. It combines transmit and receive buffer and remove unused functions. Altera SPI doesn't support programmable rate which is needed for MMC SPI, nor does Xilinx SPI. The programmer is easily controlled by your host computer using the.


Some tutorials are board agnostic-they will work on any family or version of a MinnowBoard development board.ĭediprog SF100 SPI Flash programming tool The SF100 is a high speed “In System Programming” programmer to update the SPI Flash soldered on board the MinnowBoard development board. Essentials Hardware components MinnowBoard Development Board A single board computer (SBC) that offers performance, flexibility, openness, and support of standards. This tutorial is based on Windows 8.1 and has also been tested on Windows 10. The standard MinnowBoard development board firmware is demonstrated however, the method illustrated in this tutorial can also be used to load any of the alternative boot loader firmware options available for the MinnowBoard development boards.
