14 years agoThe purpose of using a MAX II controller for PS configuration with serial flash isn't quite clear to me, because the serial flash can work in AS mode directly connected to the fPGA with less effort.
The MAX II configuration controller reference design only supports parallel flash. You would need to design the serial flash interface yourself. I also doubt, that a MAX II with attached serial flash is supported by the Quartus programmer.
