MAX 10 - Storing configuration in its internal FLASH

Hello all. 

 

Is it possible? To store my "firmware" in the MAX 10's internal FLASH memory so it can simply use it whenever it powers on? I was under the impression it was possible, but I just can't find how to do it. 

 

Thanks

Hi Lurkers 

 

Yes. 

1.Are you using development kit? 

 

Refer session 3.3 for steps.

Hi Anand. 

 

I'm using a board I designed. I prototyped with the Cyclone IV, which won't allow for internal configuration (as far as I know), and so I picked the MAX 10 for the final board. Once prototyping was done, I designed the board with the MAX 10 instead of the Cyclone IV and sent it to be manufactured. It's now back, and I couldn't find how to store the configuration internally in the MAX 10 mostly because I was thinking I didn't really have to do anything other than upload the configuration to it like I did with the Cyclone IV. Once I saw it wouldn't hold after a power cycle I kinda got worried. 

 

But it's working fine now. Thanks for your reply.

Hi, 

 

Check how to program max 10 using both the methods (By using on-chip ram / by using on-chip flash).
