Stratix II/Stratix II GX Device Active Serial Configuration
Active Serial Configuration
Active serial (AS) configuration can be performed using an Altera® serial configuration (EPCS) device. During AS configuration, the Stratix® II/Stratix II GX device is the master and the EPCS device is the slave. Configuration data is transferred to the Stratix II/Stratix II GX device on the DATA0 pin. This configuration data is synchronized to the DCLK input. Configuration data is transferred at a rate of one bit per clock cycle. There are two types of active serial configuration schemes: regular AS (20 MHz) and fast AS (40 MHz).
Configuration Method in Active Serial Mode
- Using a serial configuration (EPCS) device
For more information, please refer to the Configuring Stratix II & Stratix II GX Devices chapter in the Configuration Handbook.
