Boot Process

The FPGA configuration for Intel MAX 10 FPGAs can be stored through JTAG interface on the FPGA itself since the Intel MAX 10 FPGA offers non-volatile memory on chip. The FPGA configuration is loaded from the non-volatile memory when the board is powered up.

To configure the FPGA directly, the JTAG interface can be used to configure the FPGA volatile, means the configuration is lost after power off.

Connectors

All connectors are are for 100mil headers, all connector locations are in 100mil (2.54mm) grid. The module's PCB provides footprints to mount and solder optional pin headers, if those are not factory-fitted on module.

Power and Power-On Sequence

To power-up a module, power supply with minimum current capability of 1A is recommended.

Power Supply

The FPGA module can be power-supplied through Micro USB2 connector J9 with supply voltage 'USB-VBUS' or alternative through pin header J2 with supply voltage 'VIN'.

The TEI0001 module needs one single power supply of 5.0V nominal.

There are following dependencies how the initial voltage of the extern power supply is distributed to the on-board DCDC converters:
