11. Configuring Stratix &Stratix GX DevicesS52013-3.2IntroductionYou can configure Stratix ® and Stratix GX devices using one of severalconfiguration schemes. All configuration schemes use either amicroprocessor, configuration device, or a download cable. SeeTable 11–1.Table 11–1. Stratix & Stratix GX Device Configuration SchemesConfiguration SchemeFast passive parallel (FPP)Passive serial (PS)Passive parallelasynchronous (PPA)Remote/local update FPPRemote/local update PSRemote/local update PPAJoint Test Action Group(JTAG)Typical UseConfiguration with a parallel synchronous configuration device or microprocessorinterface where eight bits of configuration data are loaded on every clock cycle.Configuration with a serial synchronous microprocessor interface or theMasterBlaster TM communications cable, USB Blaster, ByteBlaster TM II, orByteBlasterMV parallel port download cable.Configuration with a parallel asynchronous microprocessor interface. In thisscheme, the microprocessor treats the target device as memory.Configuration using a Nios TM (16-bit ISA) and Nios ® II (32-bit ISA) or otherembedded processor. Allows you to update the Stratix or Stratix GX deviceconfiguration remotely using the FPP scheme to load data.Passive serial synchronous configuration using a Nios or other embeddedprocessor. Allows you to update the Stratix or Stratix GX device configurationremotely using the PS scheme to load data.Passive parallel asynchronous configuration using a Nios or other embeddedprocessor. In this scheme, the Nios microprocessor treats the target device asmemory. Allows you to update the Stratix or Stratix GX device configurationremotely using the PPA scheme to load data.Configuration through the IEEE Std. 1149.1 JTAG pins. You can perform JTAGconfiguration with either a download cable or an embedded device.
