Configuring Stratix & Stratix GX Devices
During configuration and initialization, and before the device enters user
mode, the microprocessor must not drive the CONF_DONE signal low.

If the optional CLKUSR pin is used and nCONFIG is pulled low
to restart configuration during device initialization, you need to
ensure CLKUSR continues toggling during the time nSTATUS is
low (maximum of 40 s).
Figure 11–8 shows the circuit for PS configuration with a microprocessor.

Figure 11–9 shows the PS configuration timing waveform for Stratix and
Stratix GX devices.
Table 11–8 shows the PS timing parameters for Stratix
and Stratix GX devices.
