USB-Blaster. The USB-Blaster is implemented using a Type-B USB connector (CN1), a Future Technologies FT245BL USB PHY device (U16), and an Altera MAX7064 CPLD (U17). This allows configuration of the FPGA using a USB cable directly connected between the USB port on the board (CN1) and a USB port of a PC running the Quartus II software.
PGMSEL (J62) selects between two Programmer Object Files (.pof)—factory .pof or user .pof files stored in the flash. The FPP controller uses the Altera Parallel Flash Loader (PFL) megafunction to configure the FPGA by reading data from the flash and converting it to FPP format.
(J28). This header provides another method for configuring the FPGA (U33) using an Altera USB-Blaster with the Quartus II Programmer running on a PC. The MAX II JTAG configuration jumper (J26) allows the MAX II CPLD device to be removed from the JTAG chain so that the FPGA is the only device on the JTAG chain.
When a jumper is installed on pins 1-2, FPP configuration loads the user POF image from flash. PGMSEL When a jumper is installed on pins 2-3, FPP configuration loads the factory POF image from flash.
