Hello Gurus, Please am new in fpga devices. I own CoreEP4CE6 fpga board. Anytime I upload my program on it, it works fine but lose the program when power goes off. please is there a way to permanently keep the program on it?

Hi Bodur,

Does your EP4CE6 fpga board support Active Serial configuration mode? What is the configuration flash device part number that if connected to the EP4CE6 device? You need to understand which type of configuration scheme does your EP4CE6 fpga board support apart from JTAG. If your board does support Active Serial configuration mode together with JTAG mode then you should be to use the SFL (Serial Flash Loader) method to program the configuration flash with .jic file via JTAG mode.

You can check out the how to video here that shows the steps to generate and program the .jic:

For details about SFL (Serial Flash Loader), you can refer to AN370 in the following link:
