There is no other altera IC's on my board. Could it be like my controller on the board MPC855 is loading the FPGA with the data it need or will it be just like a seperate flash on the board or could it be any of these?. Thanks for your help Dave

The EPM7032AE is a non-volatile CPLD - think of it as a wanna-be FPGA - its likely used as glue logic on your board.

It might be part of the programmer logic, but you need to look at the schematic again. You're looking for flash or some sort of non-volatile memory, or a standard Altera device, eg., EPC2, EPC16.

Cheers,

Dave
