[Altera_Forum]

Hi 

I want to make the ep3c120_dev_kit to the factory default setting based on the cyclone III development kit, but i can not find this pof file. I use QUARTUS 10.1  Could anyone help me to find this pof file: cycloneiii_3c120_dev_factory_recovery.pof  thanks.

Did you try the download on the kit's web site?

Here they are directly:  ftp://ftp.altera.com/outgoing/devkit/11.0/cycloneiii_3c120_dev_kit-v11.0.0.exe ftp://ftp.altera.com/outgoing/devkit/10.1/cycloneiii_3c120_dev_kit-v10.1.0.exe ftp://ftp.altera.com/outgoing/devkit/91/cycloneiii_3c120_dev_kit-v9.1.2.exe  As you can see, they have the Quartus version embedded in their name. Quartus 10.1 is the second one.  Cheers, Dave

Help me   --- Quote End ---  A .pof file is for an Altera FPGA configuration device. An FPGA would use an .sof file. If the FPGA is configured from external flash, then that flash would be programmed with the FPGA image in a board-specific manner.  The board has a MAX II device on it connected to Flash. That device will program the FPGA at power-on. This board would not use .pof files.  I'd recommend programming the FPGA with the Board Update Portal (BUP) .sof image, and then connecting to the board via the web interface. From there you should be able to program a new image into the Flash. The BUP image should be the one located in the factory_recovery folder, its called bup_3c120_fpga.sof. So long as that image does not expect data in flash (eg., the web pages it serves), it should be enough to get you started.  Cheers, Dave
