A. Programming the Flash Memory

Device

As you develop your own project using the Altera tools, you can program the flash
memory device so that your own design loads from flash memory into the FPGA on
power up. This appendix describes the preprogrammed contents of the common flash
interface (CFI) flash memory device on the Stratix V GX advanced systems board and
how to reprogram the user portions of the flash memory device.

The Stratix V GX advanced systems board ships with the CFI flash device
preprogrammed with a default factory FPGA configuration for running the Board
Test System demonstration.

CFI Flash Memory Map

Table A–1

shows the default memory contents of the 1-Gb CFI flash devices. The flash

device has a 16-bit data bus connected to the Max V System Controller that is used to
configure FPGA1 or FPGA2 using FPP x8.

For the FPP to function correctly, the memory map PFL option bits should not be
altered.

Altera recommends that you do not overwrite the factory hardware and factory
software images unless you are an expert with the Altera tools.
