seperate fpga programm and a table in altera

hello!

i want to compile a design for a altera acex or cyclon and i want to
put additionally a table into it (f.e. a .mif file) without compiling
it completely when changing the mif file (each delivered device has its
own mif file or sth similar)
what is the best way. does quartus have a possibility while burning to
integrate the mif file into the pof file while burning?
or should i use a enhanced configuration device and i must write a
complete engine to read and write eth out of this device?
or is it the best way to put simply an flahs onto the pcb?
best regards, roland

 Hi Roland,

   You can do this easily with Quartus II 4.0 and later. The steps are
listed below.

1. Open a command line / DOS prompt. Make sure that quartus_cdb is in your
path. Then:
2. cd to the project directory
3. Type
        quartus_cdb <project> --update_mif
4. Then type
        quartus_asm <project>

In both cases replace <project> with the project name. The command in Step 3
will take the changed mif's and update the compiler database, without
recompiling the rest of the design. The commmand in Step 4 will regenerate
the pof/sof with the new mif.

Hope this helps.
