I need to be able to send bitstream in a FPGA board.

I use the Altera Cyclone III Development Board, I am looking for an option on Quartus for example to send bitstream, but I didn't find this either in the software nor on Internet.

  • Do you mean uploading a bitstream to a board or dynamic reconfiguration? Programing a board can be done by clicking onto "Program Device (Open Programer)". It's just below the synthesis 'buttons'. – Paebbels Jun 02 '15 at 06:34
  • Yes I would like to upload a bitstream, I need to send the bitstream of a video compressed to the FPGA board, and after process of the data (encoding & decoding), I recover the bitstream. – Gilstaills Jun 02 '15 at 07:36

    @Gilstaills I think you're using the wrong terminology here. In the context of FPGAs a bitstream is a programming file for the FPGA. – Bob Jun 02 '15 at 11:55
  • You can use one of the interfaces available on your board (e.g. USB or eth) and send stream through some software application. – Qiu Jun 02 '15 at 14:56
  • I found that it can be possible to create a programming file by converting a hex file where the bitstream is stored. Someone can confirms that it's possible ? – Gilstaills Jun 04 '15 at 07:43
