13 years agoyes, there was one issue, thanks!!! i changed the MSEL pull-ups to VCCA.
Regarding the pull-ups on the EPCS interface, i looked the schematic on CYCLONE iii device handbook "Figure 9–30. Programming Serial Configuration Devices In-System Using the JTAG Interface" P217: and there are no pull-up or pull-down. I put of course a couple of decoupling capacitances. Just another question: To load a configuration into the EPCS4, - i have to load the configuration in the first time in the FPGA with JTAG connection and .SOF file (with a SFL megafunction and "noe_in" to "0") - Then i convert SOF file in .JIC file (JTAG indirect configuration) with quartus - I send this file with JTAG connection to the EPCS4 through CYCLONE iii (SFL bridge). Finally my FPGA can run and configure himself automatically at the power-up. Is-it exact? Thank for your reply.
