Sorry gigi, I removed that attachment thinking a customer posted a confidential document before I noticed it was you.... I'm having a case of the Monday's

Anyway, helloworld.rma like gigi said typically you don't need the breakout board. I haven't used mine in over a year since haven't needed to update my flash image in a long time. If you decide to program the FPGA directly make sure to use the aocl program <filename.aocx> API instead of the Quartus programmer directly. aocl program performs other steps needed to prevent your computer from crashing while the FPGA is getting reconfigured.
