Hello, 

 

We are going to use the MAX II in an embedded system PCB board we are developing. 

 

My questions are: 

 

1. What would be the easiest, cheapest way to program the MAX II device after it is already soldered to the PCB? 

 

2. Can you please recommend me what hardware should we design on the PCB board that will interface with the MAX II so we will be able to program the CPLD. We are developing with the Quartus II web edition (Version 7.1). 

 

Thank you, 

Eitan
