A.3.1. Using the Quartus® Prime Programmer
You can use the Quartus® Prime Programmer to configure the FPGA with a .sof.
Before configuring the FPGA:
- Ensure that the Quartus® Prime Programmer and the Intel® FPGA Download Cable driver are installed on the host computer.
- The USB cable is connected to the kit.
- Power to the board is on, and no other applications that use the JTAG chain are running.
To configure the MAX® 10 FPGA:
- Start the Quartus® Prime Programmer.
- Click Add File and select the path to the desired .sof.
- Turn on the Program/Configure option for the added file.
- Click Start to download the selected file to the FPGA. The configuration is complete when the progress bar reaches 100%.
The Quartus® Prime Convert Programming File (CPF) GUI can be used to generate a .sof file that can use for internal configuration. You can directly program the flash of the MAX® 10 device, which included Configuration Flash Memory (CFM) and User Flash Memory (UFM), by using a download cable with the Quartus® Prime software programmer.
