You can browse boundary-scan description language (BSDL) files by Altera® device family. You can use these BSDL files for pre-configuration boundary-scan test (BST). For post-configuration BSDL files, please refer to BSDLCustomizer. You can use the same BSDL file regardless of speed grade or temperature.
You will need an IEEE 1532 BSDL file (programming algorithm) and an in-system configurable (ISC) file (programming data) to execute in-system programmability (ISP). Methods of generating the ISC file can be obtained from the Quartus® II Handbook.
| Table 1. IEEE 1532-Compliant BSDL Files | ||
| Device Type | Device Family | Part Number Prefix |
|---|---|---|
| Configuration Devices | Enhanced Configuration Device | EPC |
| CPLDs | MAX® 3000 | EPM3 |
| MAX 7000 | EPM7 | |
For enhanced configuration (EPC) devices , the ISC file can be generated by using svf2isc script. The script and user guide are avalaible in the following zip file:
