Configuration Devices
You can use the Altera’s serial configuration devices (EPCS) in the AS configuration
scheme. Supported commodity parallel flash families are used in the AP
configuration scheme. Check whether the configuration device supports the
configuration bitstream file size of your Cyclone III device. In the PS and FPP
configuration schemes, you can use a MAX II device or a microprocessor with a flash
memory configuration method. In the AS and PS configuration schemes, you can use
the compression feature to reduce the configuration file size of a large Cyclone III
device.
For more information on the EPCS devices, refer to the
(EPCS1, EPCS4, EPCS16, EPCS64, and EPCS128) Data Sheet
Configuration Handbook.
For more information on the supported families for the commodity parallel flash,
refer to the
Handbook.
