Notes to Figure 10–9:
(1) Connect these pull-up resistors to V_CCPGM at a 3.0-V supply.
(2) Power up the USB-ByteBlaster, ByteBlaster II, or EthernetBlaster cable’s V_CC(TRGT) with V_CCPGM.
You can program serial configuration devices with the Quartus II software using the
Altera programming hardware and the appropriate configuration device
programming adapter.
In production environments, you can program serial configuration devices using
multiple methods. You can use Altera programming hardware or other third-party
programming hardware to program blank serial configuration devices before they are
mounted on PCBs. Alternatively, you can use an on-board microprocessor to program
the serial configuration device in-system using C-based software drivers provided by
Altera.
