3.1.1. Avalon-ST Configuration Scheme Hardware Components and File Types

You can use the following components to implement the Avalon-ST configuration scheme:
•

A CPLD with PFL II IP and common flash interface (CFI) flash or Quad SPI flash memory

•

A custom host, typically a microprocessor, with any external memory

•

The Intel FPGA Download Cable II to connect the Intel Quartus Prime Programmer to the PCB.

The following block diagram illustrates the components and design flow using the Avalon-ST configuration scheme.
