Jake,

I can pass to the passive serial configuration if it would simplify the development. But I think I cannot use EPCSs in this configuration. and have no idea how to connect flash, uController and FPGA device correctly on the PCB and what type of the Flash memory to use?

Can the scheme be as displayed on the page 10-38 of the Configuration Handbook (i'm attaching this picture to the thread)?

When my micro just selects the location in the Flash memory and write appropriate configuration files to the appropriate location? Next by setting nConfig it says FPGA to go to the configuration stage and sends appropriate data?

If I am right if there are some guidelines what file to generate in Quartus to be able to load it to the MSP430 and what type of the Flash memory to use?

Thank you.

U.
