Configuration Schemes
Intel® FPGA offers a wide range of configuration solutions to configure Intel FPGA devices. Note that different Intel FPGA devices support different configuration schemes. For a summary of the configuration schemes supported by Intel FPGAs, refer to the Device Configuration Schemes web page.
For a comparison of the various configuration schemes, refer to the Configuration Comparison web page.
Configuration Features
Some Intel FPGA devices offer configuration data decompression to reduce configuration file storage, design security using data encryption to protect your designs, and remote system upgrades that allow you to update your FPGA designs remotely. For a summary of the configuration features that are supported by each device family, refer to the Configuration Features web page.
The configuration features supported by a configuration scheme may be different for different devices.
Download Cables
Intel FPGA offers a wide range of download cables that support Intel FPGA configuration and configuration device programming. During the prototyping stage, Intel FPGA download cables allow you to download design changes directly to the device without using configuration devices.
