Everyone knows that Altera’s FPGA can be configured using the EPCS flash memory configuration chip, and there are two methods to program the EPCS chip. One method is to directly program the POF file through the AS port, which requires a separate 10-pin socket in the circuit design. The other method is to use the … Read more
1. For Altera FPGA, when using Nios II, there are four types of files that need to be downloaded: .sof file, .pof file, .jic file, and .elf file. 2. The .sof file and .pof file are usually referred to as FPGA “hardware” or “firmware” files, generated by design compilation in Quartus II. The source file … Read more
FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) as a programmable logic device has been widely used in various digital system designs, and the JTAG interface is one of the most commonly used debugging/programming interfaces. Its quality directly affects the performance and reliability of the FPGA. Therefore, it is essential to diagnose and test the JTAG to prevent … Read more
Originally published on the WeChat public account “Embedded Fun”. During the process of FPGA development and learning, a key step is programming the board, making hardware “hard reality” is crucial. Generally speaking, using the JTAG interface is quite common, so many experts must have encountered issues where the JTAG interface malfunctioned or was damaged and … Read more
In embedded development and chip debugging, the JTAG interface allows developers to access the internal registers of chips through boundary scan technology, making it one of the important tools. However, when using the JTAG cable for program downloads, you may feel that the download speed is too slow. So how can we improve its speed? … Read more

In the book ‘The Legend of Tong Lin’, Tong Lin practiced the basics of ‘circling a big tree and untying a rope’ before mastering skills like ‘ghostly shadows following’ and ‘willow leaf soft palm’. In my opinion, to become a competent FPGA designer, one must master five essential skills: simulation, synthesis, timing analysis, debugging, and … Read more
