Using the Board
JTAG Configuration
The Cyclone II device can be configured after power is applied to the
board. The JTAG interface permits the Quartus

Cyclone II device with a user design through the Altera ® USB-Blaster ™
download cable. The user design remains in the Cyclone II device until
power is removed from the board.
To configure the Cyclone II device using the Quartus II software and the
USB-Blaster cable, perform the following steps:
1. Attach the USB-Blaster cable to the J8 header.
2. Open the Quartus II SRAM Object File (.sof) that you want to load
into the device. This step launches the Quartus II Programmer.
3. Select USB-Blaster as the hardware. For instructions, refer to
Changing the Hardware Setup in Quartus II Help.
4. Set the mode to JTAG.
5. Click Start.
