5/11/2017 · Hi @ xilinx -zhaosheng There is no way to erase the whole QSPI flash from the SDK as the program_ flash utility only erases the size of the file that you are actually writing. You have two options:, The Program Flash GUI menu within SDK does not provide an option to only erase the flash memory. However the program_ flash tool does provide a specific erase only option in command line mode. Use the XSCT console and issue the following command: program_ flash – erase _only, Program Flash is a SDK tool used to program the flash memories in the design. Various types of flash types are supported by SDK for programming. For Non Zynq devices – Parallel Flash (BPI) and Serial Flash (SPI) from various makes such as Micron, Spansion. For Zynq Devices – QSPI, NAND & NOR.

When I try to program flash on my custom board I always get an error: cmd /C program_ flash -f D: SDK _projectshello_worldbootimageBOOT.mcs -offset 0 , Program Flash is a SDK tool used to program the flash memories in the design.

Might I suggest that someone at Xilinx simply create a bitstream for your favorite dev board with 2017.2, program it to flash via SDK , and see that it works. Then either change the bitstream and regenerate it or erase the flash , and then attempt to program it with 2017.3 SDK and see that programming fails.
The selected device is erased according to the pre-selected erase properties.

If only one hardware platform is present in your workspace, it will open the Program Flash Memory dialog box based on whether it is a Zynq processor design or a MicroBlaze™ processor design.
