Do I need to program Altera EPM7032SLC44-10 IC ?

IC question.

Hi.
I am making a project using a EPM7032SLC44-10 made by altera. I dont understand the description.
For using the IC, i have to programm it, or i just plug in and that's all, ready to go.

Hello sztibi82,

You need to program the chip, unless you are buying it already programmed from whoever designed the project.

The MAX7000S devices can be programmed in-circuit by a jtag interface and freely-available software (from Altera).

Circuit diagrams of the programmer cable that plugs into a PC and then into the jtag socket (which should be on the project board) are available. I don't have time to search, but they are most likely on EDAboard somewhere - just search for "jtag programming lead" or similar. They are very easy to build.

Edit: Go to this thread - there is a schematic of a programming cable in lz5za's post.



Hope this helps,
FoxyRick.

It is a programable device . You should "design" it first for your needs .
