Chapter 4

Flash Programming

As you develop your own project using the Altera tools, you can program the flash memory device

so that your own design loads from flash memory into the FPGA on power up. This chapter will

describe how to use Altera Quartus II Programmer Tool to program the common flash interface

(CFI) flash memory device on the TR5-Lite. The Stratix V GX FPGA development board ships with

the CFI flash device preprogrammed with a default factory FPGA configuration for running the

Parallel Flash Loader design example.

Table 4-1

shows the default memory contents of two interlaced 1Gb (128MB) CFI flash device.

Each flash device has a 16-bit data bus and the two combined flash devices allow for a 32-bit flash

memory interface. For the factory default code to run correctly and update designs in the user

memory, this memory map must not be altered.
