I've noticed missing FPGA download/configure options in some of the BTS GUIs. The "solution" is to use Quartus to download the appropriate .sof file from the kit install area, and then re-run the GUI. The GUI will then detect what image is already configured and activate the appropriate tab.

    Hello,

    I know this thread is a few years old, and im not sure if this reply will bump the post up, but can anyone elaborate on "downloading the appropriate .sof file from the kit install area" if that is a feasible solution? I am unsure which kit install area its being referred to.

    I am new to CPLD's using the MAX V CPLD kit as my introduction and I also am having the same issue stated from above where when I follow the directions in the user guide for the Altera Max V, after downloading the kit (v.11.1) , the BTS (Board Test System) is missing the "Config" file menu only leaving me with "File" and "About".

    Thanks!
