4.10.2. EPCQL Flash Memory

The Intel® Stratix® 10 TX Transceiver Signal Integrity Development Kit has an Intel 1024 Mb EPCQL flash for non-volatile storage of the FPGA configuration data, board information, test application data and user code space. The quad-serial flash provided has a x4 data width, the development board has a x4 data width which can supports an AS x4 configuration scheme.

The table below shows the memory map for this flash memory. This memory provides non-volatile storage for FPGA bit stream, Nios II factory software and other information.
