Honored ContributorIs it possible to configure the EPCS device through FPGA via JTAG only?
From reading the Configuring the Cyclone Devices document i came to the conclusion that to write to the EPCS flash device , respective MSEL pin connections must be set for AS configuration mode for t...

Honored ContributorHi,
Yes you can program the EPCS via JTAG interface from the FPGA using the SFL (Serial Flash Loader) method. If you already have a FPGA connected to the EPCS, you just need to use the FPGA JTAG pins to program the .jic (JTAG Indirect Configuration) file into the EPCS.The steps are documented in the AN370 from this link: https://www.altera.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_us/pdfs/literature/an/an370.pdf Regards, Nyusof
