You can use the Quartus II Programmer to configure the FPGA with a
specific .sof file. Before configuring the FPGA, ensure that the Quartus II
Programmer and the USB-Blaster driver are installed on the host
computer, the USB cable is connected to the development board, power
to the board is on, and no other applications that use the JTAG chain are
running.
To configure the Cyclone III FPGA, perform the following steps:
1.
Start the Quartus II Programmer.
2.
Click Add File and select the path to the desired .sof file.
3.
Turn on the Program/Configure option for the added file.
