Stratix V GX FPGA Device
The XpressGX5LP-SE board can be mounted with either the
Altera 5SGXEA7K2F40C2N or the
5SGXEA4K2F40C2N FPGA
. The following table shows the resources of each available Stratix V GX FPGA:

Board Configuration Module
3.2.1 JTAG
The XpressGX5LP-SE features a mini JTAG connector. A 10cm cable is provided with the board so you can
configure the FPGA with your USB-BLASTER and Quartus.
The cable must be plugged into the board as shown in the following picture:

3.2.2 FlashPROM
Configuration
The XpressGX5LP-SE uses an Altera 5M2210ZF256C5N MAX V CPLD as a 32-bit FPP configuration module.
This module consists of two 256MB PC28F00BP30EFA Micron 16-bit FlashPROMs that are directly connected to
the FPGA on the FPP configuration interface.
At power-up, the CPLD acts as an address counter to configure the FPGA.
Both FlashPROMs are accessible via the FPGA and the CPLD (data, address and control signals are shared
between these devices).
Switch (SW1-4) is available to select a boot sector (0 or 1).
