11 years agoEPCQ device selection for Arria V FPGA
I Need to know how i can select EPCQ device for AS4 mode for Arria-V FPGA 5AGXBB7D4F40I5 selected for my design. I did not complete my design but want to finalised my PCB with this fpga. Which file should i consider for selecting flash size is it .rbf or .pof. Please reply to me [email protected]. Thanks

Just refer to the Arria V datasheet for the uncompressed .rbf size:
https://www.altera.com/content/dam/a...v/av_51002.pdf Then compare the .rbf size to the EPCQ size. The rule of thumb is that EPCQ device size > FPGA .rbf size. You can enable compression to compress the .rbf size to fit more images into the EPCQ. - Altera_Forum
