Additional discovery. If I run mesaflash with /dev/spidev0.1 and my pullup resistor, I get unexpected cookies of ffffffff. So it appears that the 7i90 is driving SDO when I attempt communication at /dev/spidev0.0.

I found a Digilent HS2 jtag dongle, and got to the point of (apparently) successfully loading an SPI bitstream to the 7I90 (chose 7i90_spi_svst4_8.bit). Running: $ mesaflash --device 7i90hd --addr /dev/spidev0.0 --spi --readhmid gives me the same "no 7I90HD board found" error though. I tried adding a pullup resistor to the SDO pin, without change, which would seem to indicate the 7I90HD is actively driving it low. Is there a very simple blinky bitstream I can try loading to be sure the jtag loading is successful? The /INIT yellow led flashes briefly, and /DONE red led does go on during the load and goes off afterward. Thanks again. -- Ralph ________________________________________ From: Peter C.

You dont need to do this if you can program the FPGA (and JTAG programming large EEPROMS is glacially slow) If you can program the FPGA via JTAG, you program the FPGA with a SPI configuration, and then run mesaflash from the RPI to write the flash memory > > Am I heading down a rat hole, or getting close to success? > > Thanks again. > -- Ralph > ________________________________________ > From: Peter C.
