The EP3C120 device and a child CFI_512MB device appear in
the list of devices to be programmed.

<File><none>
field of the CFI_512MB row. The
Select New

. The message window details the flash writing progress to successful
completion. Flash writing to one page, as in this case, can take five to six minutes.
You have now successfully programmed the flash device with a configuration for
your board. To configure the board from the flash device, power cycle the board as
described in
“Powering up the Board” on page 4–1
Powering on the board causes the flash device to load a new configuration into the
FPGA device. The Configuration Done LED lights up and the hardware functions
associated with the design take effect.
