Board Components
The development board provides two separate methods for configuring
the FPGA:
1.
Using the Quartus
®
II software running on a host computer, a
designer configures the device directly via an Altera download
cable connected to the FPGA JTAG header (J24).
2.
When power is applied to the board, a configuration controller
device (U3) attempts to configure the FPGA with hardware
configuration data stored in flash memory. For more information on
the configuration controller, refer to
.

EP2C35 device, see the Altera Cyclone II literature page at

Push-Button
Switches (SW0 -
SW3)
SW0 – SW3 are momentary-contact push-button switches to provide
stimulus to designs in the FPGA. Refer to
. Each switch is
connected to an FPGA general-purpose I/O pin with a pull-up resistor as
shown in
. Each I/O pin perceives a logic 0 when its
corresponding switch is pressed.
