Honored ContributorHow do I keep the same program loaded in a CPLD after a power down without having to reconfigure.
Do I need to use a configuration EPROM such as an EPC1? If so, how do I program an EPC1?
Honored ContributorHi,
Are you referring to CPLD's i.e. Altera MAX devices or FPGA's (Stratix, Cyclone etc)? CPLD's maintain their configuration during power off and do not require a config device. FPGAs are SRAM based and need a Config device. Different families and size of devices require different config devices so look at the literature for the parts you are interested in. Config devices can be programmed in-situ with a JTAG cable to your PC or via s/w running on a control processor on your design. All the answers are here... http://www.altera.com/support/devices/configuration/cfg-index.html Good luckHonored ContributorI am using a Flex 10K device, I know how to hook up the EPC1 to the Flex 10k but I don`t know how to program the EPC1.
