Programming Methods for MAX 7000 Devices MAX 7000 devices do not support the JTAG interface and can only be programmed using the conventional method. Altera Programming Tools MAX 7000 devices can be programmed using Altera Programming Units (APU) with the associated adapters. APU Driver Information Programming Adapters Information Third-Party Programmers Third-party vendors offer conventional off-board programming support for MAX 7000 devices. Support for Third-Party Programmers Programming Methods for MAX 7000S, MAX 7000A, and MAX 7000B Devices The MAX 7000S, MAX 7000A, and MAX 7000B devices can be programmed in-system via the industry standard 4-pin IEEE Standard 1149.1 (JTAG) interface. Altera Programming Tools MAX 7000S, MAX 7000A, and MAX 7000B devices can be programmed with Altera programming tools (including USB-BlasterTM, ByteBlasterTM II, ByteBlasterMVTM,  and MasterBlasterTM download cables, and the Altera Programming Unit (APU) with the associated adapters) that are used with Quartus® II software.  APU and Download Cable Driver Information Download Cables Datasheet & User Guides Programming Adapters Information In-Circuit Tester MAX 7000S, MAX 7000A, and MAX 7000B devices can be programmed using in-circuit testers. Vendor Support Boundary-Scan Tools MAX 7000S, MAX 7000A, and MAX 7000B devices can be programmed using boundary-scan tools. Vendor Support Third-Party Programmers Third-party vendors offer conventional off-board programming support for MAX 7000S, MAX 7000A, and MAX 7000B devices. Support for Third-Party Programmers IEEE 1532 Programming MAX 7000S, MAX 7000A, and MAX 7000B devices support in-system programmability (ISP) using the IEEE 1532 standard. Support for IEEE 1532 Standard Jam STAPL MAX 7000S, MAX 7000A, and MAX 7000B devices can be programmed using the JamTM Standard Test and Programming Language (STAPL) programmer.

How fast can a MAX 7000 device be powered up and operating if it is already programmed? Is there any way to monitor the ISP DONE bit (MAX 7000AE, MAX 7000B, MAX 3000A)? Are the Programmer Object Files (.pof) within the MAX 7000 device family (MAX 7000E, MAX 7000S, and MAX 7000A) compatible? Can I program the four JTAG pins (TCK, TMS, TDI, and TDO) as I/O pins when programming MAX 7000 devices via a third-party socket-based programmer?
