Programming the SPI Flash

To program the SPI Flash image:

  1. 1.Double click Run PROGRAM_SPI_IMAGE on the Design Flow tab.
  2. 2.Click Yes in the dialog box.

When the SPI image is successfully programmed on to the device, a green tick mark appears next to Run PROGRAM_SPI_IMAGE.

After SPI Flash programming is completed, the TCM is ready and executes the user application. As a result, LEDs 1, 2, 3, and 4 blink, and the 256 MB DDR3 memory write and read access is performed and verified, then prints are observed on the serial terminal, as shown in the following figure.

This concludes the demo.

The on-board RT PolarFire device and the SPI Flash can also be programmed using FlashPro Express, see Appendix: Programming the RT PolarFire Device Using FlashPro Express.
