Preliminary
Section VI. Configuration
& Test
This section provides configuration information for all of the supported
configuration schemes for Cyclone
™
II devices. These configuration
schemes use either a microprocessor, configuration device, or download
cable. There is detailed information on how to design with Altera
®
configuration devices. The last chapter provides information on JTAG
support in Cyclone II devices.
This section includes the following chapters:
■ Chapter 13, Configuring Cyclone II Devices
■ Chapter 14, IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) Boundary-Scan Testing for
Cyclone II Devices
