                Configuration Scheme Selection
 You can configure  Cyclone® 10 GX devices with one of four configuration schemes: 
  
 
  - Fast passive parallel (FPP)—A controller supplies the configuration data in a parallel manner to the Cyclone® 10 GX FPGA. FPP is supported in an 8-bit (FPP ×8), 16-bit (FPP ×16) or 32-bit data width (FPP ×32).
 - Active serial (AS)—The Cyclone® 10 GX FPGA controls the configuration process and gets the configuration data from a quad-serial configuration (EPCQL) device. AS is supported in 1-bit (AS ×1) or 4-bit data width (AS ×4).
 - Passive serial (PS)—An external host supplies the configuration data serially to the Cyclone® 10 GX FPGA.
 - Joint Test Action Group (JTAG)—Configured using the IEEE Standard 1149.1 interface with a download cable, or using MAX (MAX II, MAX V, MAX 10) devices, or microprocessor with flash memory.
 
You can enable any specific configuration scheme by driving the Cyclone® 10 GX device MSEL pins to specific values on the board.

| 1 | Select a configuration scheme to plan companion devices and board connections. | 
All configuration schemes use a configuration device, a download cable, or an external controller (for example, MAX® ( MAX® II, MAX® V, Intel® MAX® 10) devices or microprocessor).
