MAX II Registers

The MAX II registers control allow you to view and change the current MAX II
register values as described in

Table 6–1

. Changes to the register values with the GUI

take effect immediately. For example, writing a 0 to SRST resets the board.

SRST

—Resets the system and reloads the FPGA with a design from flash memory

based on the other MAX II register values.

Write only

Set to 0 to initiate an FPGA reconfiguration.

Page Select Register
(PSR)

Read / Write

Determines which of the flash memory to use for FPGA
reconfiguration. The flash memory ships with pages 0 and 1
preconfigured.

Page Select Override
(PSO)

Read / Write

When set to 0, the value in PSR determines the page of
flash memory to use for FPGA reconfiguration. When set to
1, the value in PSS determines the page of flash memory to
use for FPGA reconfiguration.

Page Select Switch
(PSS)

Read only

Holds the current value of the illuminated USER_POF LEDs
(D32, D33, D34).

0 = USER_POF1 LED (D34)

1 = USER_POF2 LED (D33)

2 = USER_POF3 LED (D32)

c

This state selects a page not supported by the default
memory map. Use of this extra page may require the
flash to be re-imaged if you want to return to the
factory state.
