Altera ByteBlasterMV - Manual (Page 20)

2–2 Altera Corporation
Functional Description
■ JTAG mode—Industry-standard Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) interface.
In JTAG mode, the Quartus II Programmer can program or configure all
Altera devices supported by the Quartus II software, except FLEX
6000
devices.
In JTAG mode, you add specific devices and configuration devices to the
device chain, in addition to POFs and SOFs, and you have several
programming options for each configuration device in the chain. You can
also verify EPC configuration device contents against its programming file
data, check that a device is blank, examine a programmed device and save
its data to file, or use its data to program or verify another configuration
device. You can perform these functions for EPCS configuration devices
using Active Serial mode.
ByteBlasterMV Connections
The ByteBlasterMV cable has a 25-pin male header that connects to the PC
parallel port, and a 10-pin female plug that connects to the circuit board. Data is
downloaded from the PC’s parallel port through the ByteBlasterMV cable to the
circuit board via the connections discussed in this section.
1 The ByteBlasterMV VCC pin must be connected to a specific voltage
for the device being programmed ( Table 2–1 ). Connect pull-up
resistors to the same power supply as the ByteBlasterMV VCC.
