Flash programming of Zedboard

I am working on Zedboard where it is required for me to store FPGA configuration file(.mcs file) onto Flash.

Zedboard works fine in the JTAG mode. But however FPGA_done LED does not glow if I choose flash method of loading the file.

I am using the following command for converting .bit to .mcs file conversion in Vivado 2014.4:

write_cfgmem -format mcs -interface spix1 -size 32 -loadbit "up 0x0 c:/main.bit" -file main.mcs

I also have set JP7 to JP11 jumpers to 00010 for Flash mode.

I find that flash memory gets erased, programmed and verified properly as displayed in Vivado tool.

Am I missing anything. Please help.

Hello Nagakiranbj,
Are you following some tutorial or are you trying to load your own custom hardware / application into the QSPI?
If you can, please download the 2014.4.1 Developing Zynq Software Speedway. Then install the lab 6 solutions and proceed to do lab 7 of the speeday (or start from lab 1 and work through lab 7). In lab 7 it goes over how to generate a .mcs file and program it into the QSPI. If you still see the same issues as you stated above, you may have an hardware issue that we will investigate next.
