Device Configuration Data Decompression
Arria GX FPGAs support decompression of configuration data, which
saves configuration memory space and time. This feature allows you to
store compressed configuration data in configuration devices or other
memory and transmit this compressed bitstream to Arria GX FPGAs.
During configuration, the Arria GX FPGA decompresses the bitstream in
real time and programs its SRAM cells. Arria GX FPGAs support
decompression in the FPP (when using a MAX II device or
