By default, the on-board USB-Blaster II clocks TCK at 24 MHz. For the on-board
USB-Blaster II to function correctly, you must set the Quartus II clock constraint on the
altera_reserved_tck

input signal to 24 MHz.

System Console USB Interface

The System Console USB interface is a fast parallel interface available on FPGA1.
Together with the soft logic supplied by Altera, this interface provides a System
Console master for debug access.

The System Console controls the debug master via signals shown in

Table 2–6

to give

fast access to an Avalon

®

Memory-Mapped (Avalon-MM) master bus that the Qsys

system integration tool generates.

For more information about the System Console, refer to the

Analyzing and Debugging

Designs with the System Console

chapter in volume 3 of the Quartus II Handbook.

Table 2–6

lists the System Console USB interface pin connections relative to the FPGA.

CFI Flash Programming

Flash programming is possible using the pre-built PFL design included in the
development kit to write configuration data to the CFI flash. The development board
implements the Altera PFL megafunction for flash programming. The PFL
megafunction is a block of logic that is programmed into an Altera programmable
logic device, in this case, the MAX V CPLD. The PFL functions as a utility for writing
to a compatible flash device.

This pre-built design contains the PFL megafunction that allows you to write either
page 0, page 1, or other areas of flash over the on-board USB-Blaster II interface using
the Quartus II software.
