Home > Support > Devices > Configuration Print This Page Subscribe to Email Configuration Center Device Configuration Different Altera® devices support different configuration schemes. For information on the schemes supported by an Altera device family, or for a summary of the configuration schemes supported by Altera devices, select from the following list: Stratix® IV Stratix III Stratix II and Stratix II GX Stratix and Stratix GX Cyclone® III Cyclone II Cyclone Arria II GX  Arria GX  APEXTM II APEX 20K MercuryTM ACEX® 1K FLEX 10K® Summary of Altera Devices and Supported Configuration Schemes Configuration Guide The Configuration Guide page provides an overview of Altera FPGA configuration schemes and a general comparison of the schemes to guide you in choosing the one that best suits your design requirements. Configuration Devices You can store the FPGA configuration data in non-volatile configuration devices. During power up, the configuration device loads the SRAM cells in the FPGA with configuration data.  Altera Configuration Devices Download Cables Altera offers a wide range of download cables that support FPGA configuration and configuration device programming. During the prototyping stage, Altera download cables allow you to download design changes directly to the device without using configuration devices. Altera Download Cables Reference Solutions Altera provides additional reference solutions to configure Altera FPGAs and to program Altera configuration devices, including the following: MicroBlasterTM software driver JRunner SRunner MorphIO MAX® Series Configuration Controller Using Flash Memory white paper (PDF)  Serial Flash Loader Parallel Flash Loader Configuration Troubleshooters You can troubleshoot your configuration issues by following the step-by-step guide in the configuration troubleshooters. FPGA Configuration Troubleshooter JTAG Configuration and ISP Troubleshooter Literature Altera provides the Configuration Handbook and other configuration-related literature. Rate This Page
