The Quartus II and MAX+PLUS II softwares provide programming support for Altera
configuration devices. During compilation, the Quartus II and MAX+PLUS II
softwares automatically generates a .pof, which can be used to program the
configuration devices. In a multi-device project, the software can combine the
programming files for multiple ACEX 1K, APEX 20K, APEX II, Arria GX, Cyclone,
Cyclone II, FLEX 10K, Mercury, Stratix, Stratix GX, Stratix II, and Stratix II GX devices
into one or more configuration devices. The software allows you to select the
appropriate configuration device to most efficiently store the data for each FPGA.
All Altera configuration devices are programmable using Altera programming
hardware in conjunction with the Quartus II or MAX+PLUS II software. In addition,
many third part programmers offer programming hardware that supports Altera
configuration devices.
An EPC2 device can be programmed with a .pof generated for an EPC1 or EPC1441
device. An EPC1 device can be programmed using a .pof generated for an EPC1441
device.
EPC2 configuration devices can be programmed in-system through its
industry-standard 4-pin JTAG interface. ISP capability in the EPC2 devices provides
ease in prototyping and FPGA functionality. When programming multiple EPC2
devices in a JTAG chain, the Quartus II and MAX+PLUS II softwares and other
programming methods employ concurrent programming to simultaneously program
multiple devices and reduce programming time. EPC2 devices can be programmed
and erased up to 100 times.
After programming an EPC2 device in-system, FPGA configuration can be initiated
by the EPC2 INIT_CONF JTAG instruction. Refer to

You can also program configuration devices using the Quartus II or MAX+PLUS II
software with the APU, and the appropriate configuration device programming
adapter.
