Using the Quartus PRIME programmer the JTAG chain appears like this:
Figure 9– Polmaddie6 JTAG CHAIN
The Max10 FPGA has internal flash memory to hold the configuration data as well as User Flash
Memory UFM which can be accessed and programmed by the FPGA. This UFM can be used to
store user configuration information or additional program storage under the control of a NIOS
CPU.
The QSPI 256Mb Flash can be accessed directly from the JTAG Programmer using the Altera
QPFL IP where the QSPI device will appear as follows:
Figure 10– Polmaddie6 QSPI JTAG CHAIN
The QSPI can be used to store larger execute in place (EXIP) programs for use with the NIOS II
processor or can be used as NIOS accessible Flash storage for images and data.
