Programming Serial Configuration Devices
f
Serial configuration devices are non-volatile, flash-memory-based devices. You can
program these devices in-system using the USB-Blaster™, EthernetBlaster™, or
ByteBlaster™ II download cable. Alternatively, you can program them using the
Altera programming unit (APU), supported third-party programmers, or a
microprocessor with the SRunner software driver.
You can perform in-system programming of serial configuration devices using the
conventional AS programming interface or the JTAG interface solution.
Because serial configuration devices do not support the JTAG interface, the
conventional method to program them is using the AS programming interface. The
configuration data used to program serial configuration devices is downloaded using
programming hardware.
During in-system programming, the download cable disables device access to the AS
interface by driving the nCE pin high. Stratix IV devices are also held in reset by a low
level on nCONFIG. After programming is complete, the download cable releases nCE
and nCONFIG, allowing the pull-down and pull-up resistors to drive GND and V
respectively.
configuration device.
Altera has developed Serial FlashLoader (SFL), an in-system programming solution
for serial configuration devices using the JTAG interface. This solution requires the
Stratix IV device to be a bridge between the JTAG interface and the serial
configuration device.
