This tutorial describes how to use the PFL to load an FPGA image into the
Common Flash memory Interface (CFI) type flash device and configure
the Stratix II GX type FPGA device on the PCI Express development
board.
First, you use the Quartus II development tool to prepare and program
the MAX
loader. At the same time, you prepare and download an application to the
flash device on the board. Finally, using the flash data, the PFL configures
the FPGA and activates the application.
The tutorial uses two files included with the development kit:
pfl2_sIIgx_pcie_3fe.pof, in the <path> \stratixIIGX_2sgx90_pcie\
examples\PFL_2SGX_PCIe directory, is the MAX II Programmer Object
File (.pof) that contains a parallel flash loader design.

The tutorial contains three parts:

■
Connect the USB-Blaster cable between the board and the Quartus II
programming host computer.
Follow the tutorial steps to program the flash memory.
Power down the board, remove the power supply, and set the
power supply switch to OFF.
Reinsert the board into the PCI Express slot in computer #1 and turn
the computer ON.
MyFirstFPGA_top.sof, in the
<path>\Examples\stratixIIGX_2sgx90_pcie\examples\MyFirstFP
GA directory, contains a simple test design that forces the FPGA to
display counting on the development board user LEDs. The SRAM
Object File, MyFirstFPGA_top.sof, is used in the SOF-to-POF file
conversion in the
of the tutorial.
