During PPA configuration, data is transferred from a configuration device, flash memory, or other storage device to the Altera® device on the DATA[7..0] pins. This configuration scheme is asynchronous, so control signals regulate the configuration cycle.
For more information, please refer to the configuration chapter of the relevant Altera device in the Configuration Handbook.
