Altera recommends that you do not overwrite the factory hardware and
factory software images unless you are an expert with the Altera tools or
deliberately overwriting the factory design. If you unintentionally
overwrite the factory image, perform these flash programming
instructions using the cycloneIII_3c25_start_niosII_standard.pof found
in the factory_recovery directory for the object file in step 9.
To program the flash device, follow these steps:
1. Open the Quartus II Programmer.
2. Click Auto Detect from the button list to the left of the
programming file list area.
3. Select the detected Cyclone III 3C25 device.
4. Choose Attach Flash Device (Edit menu). The Select Flash Device
window opens.
5. Turn on the Flash Memory and CFI_128MB options (refer to
Figure A–5).
