1. Using the Intel® FPGA Serial Flash Loader IP Core with the Intel® Quartus® Prime Software

The Intel® FPGA Serial Flash Loader IP core is an in-system programming (ISP) solution for Intel® FPGA serial configuration devices. In-system programming offers you the option to program your serial configuration devices using a JTAG interface.

To use the JTAG interface to program your serial configuration device, you must create an instance of the Intel® FPGA Serial Flash Loader IP core into your FPGA to form a bridge between the FPGA JTAG hard logic and the FPGA active serial memory interface (ASMI) hard logic. You can then use a download cable ( Intel® FPGA Parallel Port Cable, Intel® FPGA Download Cable), production tester, and other tools that support JTAG to program your serial configuration device.
