6.1.1.2. Active Serial Multi-Device Configuration
For multi-device AS configurations, connect multiple Intel® Cyclone® 10 LP devices to a single serial configuration device.
- When the first device captures all its configuration data from the bitstream, it drives the nCEO pin low, enabling the next device in the chain.
- If the last device in the chain is an Intel® Cyclone® 10 LP device, you can leave the nCEO pin of the last device unconnected or use it as a user I/O pin after configuration.
- The nCONFIG, nSTATUS, CONF_DONE, DCLK, and DATA[0] pins of each device in the chain are connected.
- When the first device asserts nCEO (after receiving all its configuration data), it releases its CONF_DONE pin.
- The subsequent devices in the chain hold this shared CONF_DONE line low until they receive their configuration data.
- When all target devices in the chain receive their configuration data and release CONF_DONE, the pull-up resistor drives CONF_DONE line high and all devices simultaneously enter initialization mode.
If the configuration bitstream size exceeds the capacity of a serial configuration device, you must select a larger configuration device, enable the compression feature, or both. When configuring multiple devices, the size of the bitstream is the sum of the individual device’s configuration bitstream.
