Note: Not supported for Intel® Stratix® 10 devices.

|
Auto usercode | Sets the JTAG user code to match the checksum value of the device programming file. The programming file is a .pof for non-volatile devices, or an .sof for SRAM-based devices. If you turn on this option, the JTAG user code option is not available. |
JTAG user code | Specifies a hexadecimal number for the device selected for the current Compiler settings. The JTAG user code is an extension of the option register. This data can be read with the JTAG USERCODE instruction. If you turn on Auto usercode, this option is not available. |
In-system programming clamp state | Allows you to specify the state that the pins take during in-system programming for used pins that do not have an in-system programming clamp state assignment. Unused pins and dedicated inputs must always be tri-stated for in-system programming. Used pins are tri-stated by default during in-system programming, which electrically isolates the device from other devices on the board. At times, however, in order to prevent system damage you may want to specify the logic level for used pins during in-system programming. The following settings are available:
|
Configuration clock source | Specifies the clock source for device initialization (the duration between CONF_DONE signal went high and before INIT_DONE signal goes high). For AS x1 or AS x4 configuration mode, you can select either Internal Oscillator or CLKUSR pin only. The DCLK pin is an illegal option for AS mode. In 14 nm device families, only Internal Oscillator or OSC_CLK_1 pins are available. |
Device initialization clock source | Specifies the clock source for device initialization (the duration between CONF_DONE signal went high and before INIT_DONE signal goes high). For AS x1 or AS x4 configuration mode, you can select either Internal Oscillator or CLKUSR pin only. The DCLK pin is an illegal option for AS mode. In 14 nm device families, only Internal Oscillator or OSC_CLK_1 pins are available. |
Configuration Options
Allow you to specify the configuration scheme, configuration device and pin options, serial clock source, and other options for subsequent device configuration with your programming bitstream. To access these settings, click
. Disabled options are unavailable for the current device or configuration mode.Option | Description |
---|---|
Configuration scheme | Specifies the scheme of configuration for generation of appropriate primary and secondary programming files, such as Active Serial x4. Only options appropriate for the current Configuration Scheme are available. |
Configuration Device | Allows you to specify options for an external configuration device that stores and loads configuration data.
|
Configuration Pin Options | Enables or disables operation of specific device configuration pins for status monitoring, SEU error detection, CvP, and other configuration pin options. |
Generate compressed bitstreams | Generates compressed bitstreams and enables bitstream decompression in the target device. |
Active serial clock source | Specifies the configuration clock source for Active Serial programming. Options range from 12.5 MHz to 100 MHz. |
VID Operation Mode | Enables Voltage IDentification logic in the target device with selected operation mode. The available options are PMBus Master or PMBus Slave. |
HPS/FPGA configuration order | For hard processor system (HPS) configuration, specifies the order of configuration between the HPS and FPGA. The options are HPS First, After INIT_DONE, and When requested by FPGA. |
HPS debug access port |
|
Disable Register Power-Up Initialization | Specifies whether the Assembler generates a bit stream with register power-up initialization. |
Option | Description |
---|---|
Quartus Key File | Specifies the first level signature chain file (.qky) that you generate. This chain includes the root key (.pem) and one or more design signing keys (.pem) required to sign the bitstream and allow access to the FPGA when using authentication or encryption. |
Encryption key storage select | Specifies the location that stores the .qek key file. You can select either Battery Backup RAM or eFuses for storage. |
Encryption update ratio | Specifies the ratio of configuration bits compared to the number of key updates required for bitstream decryption. You can select either 31:1 (the key must change 1 time every 31 bits) or Disabled (no update required). Encryption supports up to 20 intermediate keys. |
Enable scrambling | Scrambles the configuration bitstream. |
More Options | Opens the More Security Options dialog box for specifying additional physical security options. |
Configuration PIN Dialog Box
For Intel® Stratix® 10 devices, allows you to enable or disable specific configuration pins. For example, you can enable the CvP_CONFDONE pin, which indicates that the device finished core programming in Configuration via Protocol mode. To access these settings, click . Disabled options are unavailable for the current device or configuration mode.
Option | Values | Description |
---|---|---|
USE PWRMGT_SCL output | SDM_1O0| SDM_IO14 | This is a required PMBus interface for the power management when the VID operation mode is the PMBus Master or PMBus Slave mode. Disable this pin for a non-SmartVID device. Intel® recommends using the SDM_IO14 pin for this function. |
Use PWRMGT_SDA output | SDM_1O11| SDM_1O12|SDM_1O16 | This is a required PMBus interface for the power management when the VID operation mode is the PMBus Master or PMBus Slave mode. Disable this pin for a non-SmartVID device. Intel® recommends using the SDM_IO11 pin for this function. |
Use PWRMGT_ALERT output | SDM_1O0|SDM_1O12 | This is a required PMBus interface for the power management that is used only in the PMBus Slave mode. Disable this pin for a non-SmartVID device. Intel® recommends using the SDM_IO12 pin for this function. |
USE CONF_DONE output | SDM_100, SDM_1010 - SDM_1016 | Implement CONF_DONE using appropriate configuration pin resource. |
USE INIT_DONE output | SDM_100, SDM_1010 - SDM_1016 | Enables the INIT_DONE pin, which allows you to externally monitor when initialization is completed and the device is in user mode. If this option is turned off, the INIT_DONE pin is disabled when the device operates in user mode and is available as a user I/O pin. |
USE CVPCONF_DONE output | SDM_100, SDM_1010 - SDM_1016 | Enables the CVP_CONFDONE pin, which indicates that the device finished core programming in Configuration via Protocol mode. If this option is turned off, the CVP_CONFDONE pin is disabled when the device operates in user mode and is available as a user I/O pin. |
USE SEU_ERROR output | SDM_100, SDM_1010 - SDM_1016 | Enables the SEU_ERROR pin for use in single event upset error detection. |
USE UIB CATTRIP output | SDM_100, SDM_1010 - SDM_1016 | Enables UIB_CATTRIP output to indicate an extreme over-temperature conditioning resulted from UIB usage. |
USE HPS cold nreset | SDM_100, SDM_1010 - SDM_1016 | An optional reset input that cold resets only the HPS and is configured for bidirectional operation. |
Direct to factory image | SDM_100, SDM_1010 - SDM_1016 | If this pin asserted then device loads the factory image as the first image after boot without attempting to load any application image. |
USE DATA LOCK output | SDM_100, SDM_1010 - SDM_1016 | Output to indicate DIBs on both die in the same package is ready for data transfer. |
