to configure EPCQ-A. The programming could take a while.

When the programming is finished, the C10LP RefKit should be able to keep its
configuration data even after powered off.
At this point our program is stored in the EPCQ-A flash memory, but the Cyclone 10 LP current
configuration is the Serial Flash Loader which is responsible for programming configuration flash
memory. We can simply reconfigure the FPGA with our program by pushing RESET button which
will reset the FPGA and automatically loads the configuration from EPCQ-A.

Testing the Design
Does not matter which way the C10LP RefKit was configured, the results should be the same for
both methods, with the only difference being if configuration is retained after power off.
On the board by default, the LEDS should now toggle in a slow counting sequence.
Push and hold the S1 USER_BTN (central joystick button) to see that the LEDs will now toggle in a
very fast counting sequence. USER_BTN is on the side of the LEDs.
Releasing the USER_BTN, will make the LEDs toggle at a slower rate as before.
