1.4.1. Instantiating the Intel® FPGA Serial Flash Loader IP Core

You must create an instance of the Intel® FPGA Serial Flash Loader IP core in your FPGA top-level design. To create the instance of the Intel® FPGA Serial Flash Loader IP core, follow these steps:
  1. In the IP Catalog window, search for and click Intel® FPGA Serial Flash Loader. Click Add. The IP Parameter Editor appears.
  2. In the New IP Instance dialog box, specify your top-level file name.
  3. Turn on the Share ASMI interface in your design parameter if you must share the ASMI interface with your design. This option provides additional control pins for controlling the ASMI interface to access external serial configuration device from core logic.
  4. Click Finish to instantiate the Intel® FPGA Serial Flash Loader IP core.
    Note: The Intel® FPGA Serial Flash Loader IP core does not have any timing or simulation model. Therefore, you cannot simulate the IP core.
