h1. Flashing using the USB blaster 

 Its possible to update flash the core .sof using the USB blaster blaster, but this only lasts until the board is restarted. 
 To do this: 
 #Connect power to the board 
 #Connect the jtag 
 #In quartus go to tools->programmer 
 #In the programmer select 'add file' and choose the .sof or the .jic file (It may be required to click a box or two to say program, I forget) 
 #Tell it to start 

 If To store on the flash chip you flashed need to make a .sof, then it will start immediately. It will only last until power off. 

 If you flashed .jic file. The v1 board has a .jic, then it will require chip compatible with the EPCQ128. The v3 board powering off/on to load. This will load until you flash has a chip compatible with the next jic or update via sd card.
