Powering on the board causes the flash device to load a new configuration into the
FPGA device. The CONF DONE LED lights up and the hardware functions associated
with the design take effect.
Restoring the Factory Design to the Flash Device
To restore the development board to factory conditions, repeat the steps for writing a
new .pof to the flash device as described in
“Programming the Flash Device” on
page A–3 , except select the stratixIII_3sl150_dev_factory_recovery.pof file.
