m (→Current F256K Release: I added a Code column to display what the FPGA shows as its version tag when the F256 is booted up. I can only attest to the F256K ones since it's what I own, someone else could add what is shown from the F256Jr. I also fixed the F256K RC13 date from 12-Dec to 09-Dec) |
(Added RC18 for both Jr and K) |

|In light of decision to dump the big ticket items and the accessories from the store... | |||
* Removed the very SPI core introduced yesterday to drive the FNXNET51 module. | |||
* Removed the DP memory for the MMU and replace it back with simple Registers, which means that when you reset the system, the MMU, Page0 will be reset back to the way it was. However, the caveat is that if you change between RAM to FLASH MMU default value, you need to do a reset, either a debug reset or General Reset because the MMU is now only 32bytes in Size, so, 4 pages of 8 values. | |||

FPGA Upgrade Guide
If you haven’t upgraded FPGAs before, below are some great videos to guide you.
You will need to download Quartus Prime Lite 18.1 Edition, since you are going to target a EP4CE15 FPGA (Cyclone 4).
Do not update to the latest version of Quartus Prime Lite, as the latest version doesn’t support that family of FPGA anymore and the software is very big.
Also, one might want to download only the "Intel® Quartus® Prime Programmer and Tools" as opposed to download the whole software by clicking on "Additional Software"
Intel Quartus Prime Lite Edition 18.1 for Windows
Intel Quartus Prime Lite Edition 18.1 for Linux
Video Guide
Note that the below Video Guide applies to both the F256K & F256Jr, despite it just being titled F256K.
