There is a Common Flash Interface (CFI) type flash memory device on the
Stratix IV GX transceiver signal integrity board. When you first receive the kit, the
CFI flash device arrives programmed with a default factory FPGA configuration for
running the Board Update Portal example design and a default user configuration for
running the primary transceiver signal integrity demonstration. There are several
other factory software files written to the CFI flash device to support the running of
the Board Update Portal. These software files were created using the Nios II EDS just
as the hardware design was created using the Quartus II Design application.
For more information about Altera development tools, refer to
www.altera.com/products/software/sfw-index.jsp.
The development kit features a MAX II configuration design in the <install
dir>\kits\stratixIVGX_4sgx230_si\examples\maxII_epm1270_si directory that
includes a PFL megafunction. The Parallel Flash Loader (PFL) on the MAX II device is
used to configure from CFI flash when the RESET SW8 is pressed or the board is
powered up.
For more information about the PFL megafunction, refer to
