The .pcf file contains the raw vectors generated from an Altera Serial Vector Format (.svf) file by the Altera utility svf2pcf. Each PCF bit in the vector file corresponds to one of the JTAG pins. For example, "100X1" Tck = 1, Tms = 0, Tdi = 0, Tdo = X, TRST = 1 For more information, contact your local FAE.
