1.7.3. Programming the FPGA with Initial Image using JTAG

You have to program the app1.pof into the FPGA as the device initial image. To program the app1.pof into the FPGA, perform the following steps:

  1. In the Programmer window, click Hardware Setup and select USB Blaster.
  2. In the Mode list, select JTAG.
  3. Click Auto Detect button on the left pane.
  4. Select the device to be programmed, and click Add File.
  5. Select the app1.pof.
  6. Click Start to start programming.
