    Hi Amanda,

    Here are the "Step by step" guide to use the PFL (Parallel Flash Loader IP) and the project file for MAX 10 Dev-kit. Plus I am sharing a guide of all the alternative boots on MAX 10

Hi,

For the EPCQ you can easily use the PFL (Parallel Flash Loader) to program your flash device. I will attach a file shows you how to do it, plus a project file of PFL on MAX 10 Dev-Kit. This project I made it myself, you are free to edit it and use it.

For future work I don't recommend you to use EPCQA as Max 10 doesn't support the active serial flash devices, you better choose another family like CV, Arria or Stratix if you want to go with the Active Serial flash device. In this situation you can use the Serial Flash Loader IP to program this flash device.

Regards,
