Hi,Thank you for contacting Intel community.You may replace EPCQ256 with EPCQ-A, as it is compatible with Cyclone V.https://www.intel.la/content/www/xl/es/products/programmable/configuration-device.htmlRegards,Aiman

Hi, thank you.
The problem is, that the largest EPCQ-A is the EPCQ128A. There is no EPCQ256A or larger.
