Quartus II
Software
Support
The Quartus II software supports implementation of both remote and
local configuration modes in your Stratix or Stratix II device. To include
the remote or local configuration feature to your design, select remote or
local as the configuration mode under the Device & Pin Options
compiler settings (prior to compilation). This selection reserves the dual-
purpose RUnLU and PGM[2:0] pins for use as dedicated inputs in
remote/local configuration modes.
To set the configuration mode as remote or local, follow these steps (See
Figure 12–9):
1. Open the Device & Pin Options settings window under the
Assignments menu.
2. Select Device & Pin Options dialog box. The Device & Pin Options
dialog box is displayed.
3. Click the Configuration tab.
4. In the Configuration mode list, select Remote or Local.
The Standard mode selection disables the remote system configuration
feature. In addition to the mode selection, you can specify the
configuration scheme and configuration device (if any) used by your
setup.

data into the Stratix or Stratix GX device. This occurs after factory configuration
specifies the appropriate application configuration data.
