Introduction

Configuration is essential for an FPGA to work, but what do you do when it does not succeed?
The pins involved in configuration are determined by the "target device family" and "configuration mode". There is a "routine sequence" for these signals, and failure to follow this sequence can result in failure.

The main configuration schemes for Intel® FPGAs are

  • Active Serial
  • Active Parallel
  • Passive Serial
  • Passive Parallel
In this issue, we will focus on Active Serial (AS) configuration from among the configuration schemes.

Check with the Check Sheet

This checklist will help you to understand what is going on in your FPGA AS configuration and how to identify the causes of any problems.
[Target Device Families ]
  • Intel® Stratix® Series FPGAs : Stratix® V, Stratix® IV
  • Intel® Arria® Series FPGAs : Arria® 10, Arria® V, Arria® II
  • Intel® Cyclone® Series FPGAs : Cyclone® 10, Cyclone® V, Cyclone® IV
