Initialization Configuration Bits (ICB) stores the configuration feature settings of the Intel® MAX® 10 device. You can set the ICB settings in the Convert Programming File tool.
Table 6.  ICB Values and Descriptions for Intel® MAX® 10 Devices
Configuration Settings Description Default State/Value
Set I/O to weak pull-up prior usermode
  • Enable: Sets I/O to weak pull-up during device configuration.
  • Disable: Tri-states I/O
Enable
Configure device from CFM0 only.

Enable:

  • CONFIG_SEL pin setting is disabled.
  • Device automatically loads image 0.
  • Device does not load image 1 if image 0 fails.

Disable:

  • Device automatically loads secondary image if initial image fails.
Disable
Use secondary image ISP data as default setting when available. Select ISP data from initial or secondary image to include in the POF.
  • Disable: Use ISP data from initial image
  • Enable: Use ISP data from secondary image

ISP data contains the information about state of the pin during ISP. This can be either tri-state with weak pull-up or clamp the I/O state. You can set the ISP clamp through Device and Pin Option, or Pin Assignment tool.

Disable
