To program Altera configuration devices using the Quartus II software and the APU,
follow these steps:
1. Choose the Quartus II Programmer (Tools menu).
2. Load the appropriate .pof by clicking Add. The Device column displays the
device for the current programming file.
3. Insert a blank configuration device into the programming adapter’s socket.
4. Turn on the Program/Configure. You can also turn on Verify to verify the contents
of a programmed device against the programming data loaded from a
programming file.
5. Click Start.
6. After successful programming, you can place the configuration device on the PCB
to configure the FPGA device.
To program Altera configuration devices using the MAX+PLUS II software and the
APU, follow these steps:
1. Open the MAX+PLUS II Programmer.
2. Load the appropriate .pof using the Select Programming File dialog box (File
menu). By default, the Programmer loads the current project’s .pof. The Device
field displays the device for the current programming file.
3. Insert a blank configuration device into the programming adapter’s socket.
4. Click Program.
5. After successful programming, you can place the configuration device on the PCB
to configure the FPGA device.
If you are cascading EPC1 or EPC2 devices, you must generate multiple .pof. The first
device .pof have the same name as the project, while the second device .pof have the
same name as the first, but with a “_1” extension (e.g., top_1.pof).
