--auto
Option to detect and display all the devices in the device chain.
--bgp
Allows a MAX II device to continue to run in-system while new programming data loads into the
configuration flash memory (CFM). When you turn on this option, programming data loaded into the
CFM does not immediately configure the device.
--cable=
Option to specify which programming hardware or cable to use.
The full syntax is as follows (depending on whether the hardware is on your local machine or a remote
machine):
" []"
" on []"
You don't need to specify the hostname or port if they are unambiguous so just specifying the name of the
cable will be sufficient if there is only one cable of that type available (on a local or remote machine).
