This document describes the configuration methods of Altera Arria GX II devices, including FPP, AS, PS, PPA and JTAG configuration schemes.
Arria GX devices utilize volatile SRAM cells to store configuration data, requiring a download of this data every time the device powers up. The document outlines five supported configuration schemes: Fast Passive Parallel (FPP), Active Serial (AS), Passive Serial (PS), Passive Parallel Asynchronous (PPA), and Joint Test Action Group (JTAG). These schemes can be implemented using external controllers like MAX II devices or microprocessors, or dedicated Altera configuration devices such as the EPC series.
Arria GX devices support five configuration schemes: Fast Passive Parallel (FPP), Active Serial (AS), Passive Serial (PS), Passive Parallel Asynchronous (PPA), and Joint Test Action Group (JTAG).
Arria GX devices use SRAM cells to store configuration data, which is volatile and must be downloaded each time the device powers up.
Decompression is supported in FPP (when using a MAX II device/microprocessor), AS, and PS schemes. It is not supported in PPA or JTAG-based configuration.
