Configuration Schemes
Figure 2–4
shows the Arria GX configuration scheme.
Figure 2–4. Arria GX Configuration Scheme
Table 2–4
lists the supported configuration modes and settings. The
MSEL(3:0)
bits are set using the MAX II device. The
CFG_MODE(1:0)
pins must be set on the configuration DIP switch.
