9 years agoYou don't need to use I/O to do this. Cyclone V offers you access to the EPCS pins from your logic. Yes, you can just write your own logic to access/program the EPCS device if you wish.
Alternatively, you can use the altera serial flash loader ip core (https://www.altera.com/products/intellectual-property/partner-page/serial_flash_loader.html). Cheers, Alex
