Configuring Cyclone III Device Family with Jam STAPL
Jam STAPL, JEDEC standard JESD-71, is a standard file format for in-system
programmability (ISP) purposes. Jam STAPL supports programming or configuration
of programmable devices and testing of electronic systems, using the IEEE 1149.1
JTAG interface. Jam STAPL is a freely licensed open standard. The Jam Player
provides an interface for manipulating the IEEE Std. 1149.1 JTAG TAP state machine.
For more information about JTAG and Jam STAPL in embedded environments, refer
to
download the jam player, visit the Altera website (www.altera.com).
Configuring Cyclone III Device Family with the JRunner Software Driver
The JRunner software driver allows you to configure Cyclone III device family
through the ByteBlaster II or ByteBlasterMV cables in JTAG mode. The supported
programming input file is in .rbf format. The JRunner software driver also requires a
Chain Description File (.cdf) generated by the Quartus II software. The JRunner
software driver is targeted for embedded JTAG configuration. The source code is
developed for the Windows NT operating system (OS). You can customize the code to
make it run on your embedded platform.
The .rbf used by the JRunner software driver cannot be a compressed .rbf because the
JRunner software driver uses JTAG-based configuration. During JTAG-based
configuration, the real-time decompression feature is not available.
For more information about the JRunner software driver, refer to
Software Driver: An Embedded Solution for PLD JTAG Configuration
on the Altera website at (www.altera.com).
Combining JTAG and AS Configuration Schemes
You can combine the AS configuration scheme with the JTAG-based configuration

directly using the JTAG interface. The other download cable is used in AS mode to
program the serial configuration device in-system using the AS programming
interface. The MSEL[3..0] pins must be set to select AS configuration mode
