2.2. Full Chip Erase Prior to Initial Device Programming

You must perform a full chip erase prior to device programming when you use the MAX® 10 device for the first time. The full chip erase prevents the reconfiguration watchdog timer from timing out. The full chip erase must be done only prior to initial programming.

For full chip erase, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Quartus® II Programmer.
  2. In the Programmer window, click Hardware Setup and select USB Blaster.
  3. Click Auto Detect on the left pane.
  4. Select the device and set the Erase column as shown in the following figure.
  5. Click Start to start full chip erase.
