4.4. FPGA Configuration

The Intel® Cyclone® 10 LP FPGA Evaluation Board supports two configuration methods:
  • Configuration by downloading a .sof file to the FPGA. Any power cycling of the FPGA or reconfiguration will power up the FPGA to a blank state.
  • Programming of the board EPCQ or EPCQ-A flash with a .jic file. Any power cycling of the FPGA or reconfiguration will lead to reconfigure from flash with AS mode.
You can use two different Intel® FPGA Download Cable hardware components to program the .sof or .jic files:
  • Embedded Intel® FPGA Download Cable II type-B mini-USB connector (J17)
  • JTAG header (J2). Use an external Intel® FPGA Download Cable, Intel® FPGA Download Cable II or Ethernet Blaster download cable. The external download cable connects to the board through the JTAG header (J2).
