Hello!
Thanks for your replies!
Maybe I should have been a bit more accurate about what I would like to do.
1. I'm using a development board which implements a MAX10M50, a quite big beast.
2. I have a ST microcontroller board, from which I would like to program the MAX 10 board.
In the first reply, there are many softwares, but no source code (all are apparently .exe files, to be run on Windows).
In the second reply, there are pin guidelines, but as the boards are already here, I will not change anything to the
hardware so in order to be more accurate, I would need:
1. Some C code, showing how to write a .pof file through JTAG. In order to save time, please don't tell me that it's possible / better
to use xxx or yyy feature of MAX10, I want to use the JTAG port, therefore I would like some reference source code to start.
2. As for the file format, I suppose I need a pof file, because that's what I'm using in the quartus environment when I want
the HDL configuration to be written to the FPGA flash. A pof file is what I need, right?
3. If C source code doesn't exist, a protocol description would make it, how to write one byte / page to the FPGA
flash. I have watched the write process on the scope, there is a myriad of small chunks, one every 3µs or so.
So if I could know what these chunks are, without having to reverse engineer them, it would be great.
NB: The terms I use might be inappropriate. I see the FPGA as a bunch of logic units that I can configure with a
kind of compiled version of my HDL code. And as MAX10 allows to store this config in its flash, I consider this
to be similar as the flash in a microcontroller, that can be programmed using a special bootloader mode.
