[Altera_Forum]

Hi & Good Day! 

 Now i'm using Quartus II Version 9.0 SP2, i need to run file (.pof) and am not really familiar with this extension file, i tried to find it from the internet and finding that there are several types of "Configuration Device", i was trying select it in random because there is no one of the type seems related to "EPF6016TI144-3". May I have any advice regarding this matter? Do I need to download any relatred "Configuration Device" or what should I need to do?  New learners.  Thanks in advance!

Hi, 

Altera EPC1 is the appropriate and recommended configuration device for the mentioned device from the FLEX 6000 family. Some alternatives from Atmel configuration device family can be helpful as well, e.g. AT17LV512A or AT17C512A or bigger. For further information please check the following document AN 87: Configuring FLEX 6000 Devices at Altera web page.  Best regards, Martin
