Arria II GX FPGA Development Board Reference Manual
Configuration
This section describes the board's configuration, status, and setup elements.
This section describes the FPGA, flash memory, and MAX II CPLD EPM2210 System
Controller device programming methods supported by the Arria II GX FPGA
development board. The Arria II GX FPGA development board supports the
following three configuration methods:

FPGA Programming over Embedded USB-Blaster
The board implements a USB-Blaster using a USB Type-B connector (J6), a FTDI USB
2.0 PHY device (U15), and an Altera MAX IIZ CPLD (U10). This allows the
configuration of the FPGA using a USB cable directly connected between the USB port
on the board (J6) and a USB port of a PC running the Quartus II software. The JTAG
chain is normally mastered by the embedded USB-Blaster found in the MAX IIZ
CPLD EPM240Z embedded USB-Blaster.
The embedded USB-Blaster automatically disables when an external USB-Blaster is
connected to the JTAG chain.
Embedded USB-Blaster is the default method for configuring the FPGA at any
time using the Quartus II Programmer in JTAG mode with the supplied USB cable.
External USB-Blaster for configuring the FPGA using the external USB-Blaster.
Flash memory download for configuring the FPGA using stored images from the
flash memory on either power-up or pressing the load image push-button switch
(PB5).
