Cyclone II EP2C35 PCI Development Board Reference Manual
Using the Board
To load the program from the factory-programmed EPCS64 device to the 
Cyclone II device, follow these steps:
1.
Power-down the board by setting the SW1 switch in the Off 
position.
2.
Perform a power-on reset by setting the SW1 switch in the On 
position. This will load the factory-created reference design into the 
Cyclone II device.
In-System Programming via the JTAG & the SFL Solution 
(User-Programmable EPCS64 Device Only)
Although serial configuration devices do not directly support the JTAG 
interface, Cyclone II devices have an IP image that can be used as a bridge 
between the JTAG interface and active serial interface of the serial 
configuration device. Therefore, JTAG in-system programming is 
possible for serial configuration devices. 
To program the user-programmable EPCS64 device via the SFL solution, 
follow these steps:
1.
Convert the SOF to a JIC file.
2.
Use the Quartus II Programmer to program the JIC file into the 
EPCS64 device. For step-by-step instructions, refer to AN 370: Using 
the Serial FlashLoader with the Quartus II Software.
The Quartus II software automatically programs the SFL image into 
the Cyclone II device, erases the EPCS64 device data, and programs 
the JIC image into the EPCS64 device. This process overwrites the 
existing image in the Cyclone II device and replaces it with the SFL 
image.
3.
Reconfigure the FPGA with the new configuration data. This can be 
done by either cycling the power to the board or pressing the 
Reconfigure switch (S2).
