Honored ContributorCycloneII or MAXII with the PFL?
I'm trying to implement a system which consists of a CycloneII,two Cyclone IIIs, CFI flash. I'd like to be able to use the parallel flash loader in the CII to JTAG program the flash, as well as confi...

Honored ContributorHello,rbugalho
I need to configure my system dynamically,and so I want to use large-capacity flash memory to store all my configuration data,then I can dynamically switch to select the desired configuration.That's why I need the large-capacity CFI flash. I noticed that the PFL megafunction for CIII does not allow the operating mode to be set to "FPGA Configuration", as only "Flash Programming" is available as an option,so I cannot replace the Cyclone II with a Cyclone III I use PCI IP core in Cyclone II,However, each reconfigure force me to restart the computer then the core can work well,This is what I do not want to see,So I do not want to re-configure the Cyclone II. I look for FPGA-Based PFL in a lot of dev_kits,but no available reference designs,They all use MAXII,I donot know why?
