Configuring the EPCQ256 in AS Mode
illustrates the AS configuration setup. To download a configuration bit stream into the
EPCQ256 serial configuration device, you need to perform the following steps:
•
Ensure that power is applied to the Cyclone V GX Starter Kit board.
•
Connect the supplied USB cable to the USB Blaster port on the Cyclone V GX Starter Kit board
•
Configure the JTAG programming circuit by setting the RUN/PROG slide switch (SW11) to the
PROG position.
•
The EPCQ256 chip can now be programmed by using the Quartus II Programmer to select a
configuration bit stream file with the .pof filename extension.
•
Once the programming operation is finished, set the RUN/PROG slide switch back to the RUN
position and then reset the board by turning the power switch off and back on; this action causes
the new configuration data in the EPCQ256 device to be loaded into the FPGA chip.
