Appendix A. Programming the

The Intel

P30 flash device uses active parallel flash configuration to

configure the Cyclone

Board has a factory default configuration programmed into the P30 flash;

however, after developing your own project, you may want to replace this

factory default configuration with your own. This appendix describes

how to reprogram the Intel P30 flash device.

After a Quartus II compilation, a Programmer Object File (.pof) is created.

Before you can program this file into the Intel P30 flash device on the

Cyclone III development board, you must modify the .pof by performing

the following steps:

Choose Convert Programming File from the File menu. The
