[DE1] [Quartus 11.1sp2] EPCS4, active serial programmation and pof file

Hi everyone, I've a problem while trying to load my configuration file in the DE1 EEPROM (EPCS4). This file should configure the Cyclone II FPGA (EP2C20F484) at boot. I'm using Quartus 11....

Ok, i found the solution here:

--- Quote Start ---

  1. open File > Convert Programming Files

  2. select .jic (JTAG indirect) as the output type

  3. select appropriate EPCS device

  4. click SOF data, then Add File to add your .sof

  5. click properties to optionally enable compression

  6. click Flash Loader then Add Device to select your target device

  7. click Generate

  8. open Tools > QII Programmer

  9. click Auto Detect

  10. double click in File column of your FPGA device row

  11. select .jic file

  12. click the Program/Configure check box in the new EPCS device listed

  13. click Start

--- Quote End ---

I would just add that unlike what is said in the DE1 user manual, to program the EPCS4 EEPROM whith those steps, the RUN/PROG switch has to be on RUN.

Good luck,
