hardware configuration

At the moment I am working with the cycloneII 2c35 devel. kit. On the board is the Max7000. In the configuration I plan, there will only be a SRAM, LAN, SPI and a flash. So no change of the configuration is required after the design is finished.

Can the Max7000 be omitted from a no more changing design? Does this require a modification of the software or changes in the NIOSII settings?

thanks for your help in advance

    FPGA is based on SRAM tehnology. Its Functon will disappear when Poweroff. So it is recommand using a "ROM" to config FPGA while poweron. The ROM can be EPC or EPCS from Altera or like Nios kit using Flash and Configure controller (CPLD). So do you konw what to do?
