Epcs16 configuration

Can i configure the serial configuration device (epcs16) without having the fpga in the circuit? If so how? I couldn't find any documentation on it

Thanks for your reply. But I am still confused. When I try to flash the EPCS device, Quartus programmer shows an error saying the silicon ID can't be recognized. Can Quartus programmer actually load the .pof file into the epcs device?

Is the EPCS device on the board an Altera part or a Spansion part?

If its a Spansion part, then you need to disable the ID check - see this thread
