Memory Initialization File (.mif)
As listed in
“.mif Requirement” column use memory initialization files to reconfigure the
transceivers. These .mifs contain the valid settings, in the form of words, required to
reconfigure the transceivers. To understand using .mifs, it is helpful to understand
these two concepts:

Quartus II Settings to Enable .mif Generation
The .mif is not generated by default in a Quartus II compilation. To generate a .mif,
you must enable the following Quartus II software settings:
1. On the Assignments menu, select Settings
Figure 5–10. Step 1 to Enable .mif Generation
How to generate a .mif?—The Quartus
provide the appropriate project settings and then compiles an ALTGX instance.

How is a .mif used between the ALTGX_RECONFIG instance and the ALTGX
instance?—The Quartus II software provides a design flow called the user
memory initialization file flow. For more information, refer to
