Multiple serial configuration devices-up to three cascaded identical serial configuration devices can be used to store a single configuration file.Extended Features for Arria 10 Devices The Altera Serial Flash Loader IP core supports Arria 10 devices with the following features: Correctly interpret extra padding bits introduced by third-party programmer tools to ensure successful serial configuration device programming using the Use enhanced mode SFL parameter.Configure your FPGA and program your serial configuration devices using the same JTAG interface.Note: Beginning from the Quartus II software version 14.0, the name of this IP core has been changed from Serial Flash Loader to the Altera Serial Flash Loader IP core.įeatures The Altera Serial Flash Loader IP core allows you to:

You can then use a download cable (ByteBlaster II, USB-Blaster), production tester, and other tools that support JTAG to program your serial configura‐ tion device. To use the JTAG interface to program your serial configuration device, you must instantiate the Altera Serial Flash Loader IP core into your FPGA to form a bridge between the FPGA JTAG hard logic and the FPGA active serial memory interface (ASMI) hard logic. In-system programming offers you the option to program your serial configuration devices using a JTAG interface.

The Altera Serial Flash Loader IP core is an in-system programming (ISP) solution for Altera serial configuration devices. Using the Altera Serial Flash Loader IP Core with the Quartus II Software
