Hi Gary,

We have designed a test-bed with an Altera cyclone to test and upload configuration files to epcs4 of a minipci product. We have developed code to upload .rbf files directly to the epcs4 of the device under test. The flash time for a full epcs4 is around 3 seconds. If this development serves your purpose, we can make it available against a certain royalty payment.

Another possibilty is to obtain the "byte jammer" software from Altera, it flashes the epcs via the JTAG chain...

best regards ron
