5.3.4. Setting up CvP Parameters for CvP Update Mode

Follow these steps to specify CvP parameters using the Quartus Prime software:
  1. On the Assignments menu, select Device, and then click Device and Pin Options.
  2. Under Category first select General, and then enable following options:
    1. Auto-restart configuration after error. If this option is enabled, CvP restarts after an error is detected.
    2. Enable autonomous PCIe HIP mode.

      Checking this box has no affect if you have enabled CvP by turning on Enable Configuration via the PCIe link in the Hard IP for PCI Express GUI, hence Altera recommends to keep it unchecked.

    3. Leave all other options disabled.
