MAX II Development Board
Using the Board

Preliminary
This section provides information on using the MAX II development
board.
Apply Power
Power can be applied to the board from the USB or PCI bus. Jumper J8
controls which source supplies power. If the shunt is on pins 1 and 2, the
board will be powered via the USB bus. If the shunt is on pins 2 and 3, the
board will be powered via the PCI bus. Pin 1 of J8 is the pin closest to the
LCD. When the board is powered up, the LED power indicators (LEDs 5,
6, 7, 8, 9, and 10) will illuminate.
Program the MAX II Device
The MAX II device on the MAX II development board can be
programmed using the Quartus
designer must supply power as indicated above and then connect the
ByteBlaster™ cable to the 10-pin JTAG header on the board (J2). More
detail on programming MAX II devices is available in the MAX II
Development Kit Getting Started User Guide and Quartus II Help.

The Quartus II software default setting in the Unused Pins tab
leaves unused pins as outputs, driving ground. When compiling
designs that target Altera development boards, change this
setting so that unused pins act as inputs and are tri-stated. The
reason for this change is that components on the board may be
damaged by having GND signals driven onto pins that drive
V
and they are tri-stated, then they will not damage the board. To
change this option in the Quartus II software, select Settings
(Assignments menu). In the menu on the right, click Device,
then click Device and Pin Options. In the Device & Pin
Options dialog box, click the Unused Pins tab. Ensure this
option is set to As inputs, tri-stated. See
