Configuring FPGA's in the field or in production

Hi,

You can use Altera Stand Alone programmer if you only need to configure the FPGA. You don't need to install entire Altera Quartus II suite if you only intend to program the FPGAs/CPLDs. It should occupy very less space if you install stand alone programmer. Take a look at https://www.altera.com/support/software/download/programming/quartus2/dnl-quartus2_programmer.jsp
