DE2-70 User Manual

Configuring the FPGA in JTAG Mode

Figure 5.1 illustrates the JTAG configuration setup. To download a configuration bit stream into the Cyclone II FPGA, perform the following steps:

Ensure that power is applied to the DE2-70 board

Connect the supplied USB cable to the USB Blaster port on the DE2-70 board (see Figure 2.1)

Configure the JTAG programming circuit by setting the RUN/PROG switch (on the left side of the board) to the RUN position.

The FPGA can now be programmed by using the Quartus II Programmer module to select a configuration bit stream file with the .sof filename extension

Configuring the EPCS16 in AS Mode

Figure 5.2 illustrates the AS configuration set up. To download a configuration bit stream into the EPCS16 serial EEPROM device, perform the following steps:

Ensure that power is applied to the DE2-70 board

Connect the supplied USB cable to the USB Blaster port on the DE2-70 board (see Figure 2.1)

Configure the JTAG programming circuit by setting the RUN/PROG switch (on the left side of the board) to the PROG position.

The EPCS16 chip can now be programmed by using the Quartus II Programmer module to select a configuration bit stream file with the .pof filename extension

Once the programming operation is finished, set the RUN/PROG switch back to the RUN
