In JTAG mode, you can add, program, or configure Quartus^® II supported SRAM-based devices, configuration devices, MAX^® 3000 devices, and MAX 7000 devices together in a chain. However, the programming options (except for Program/Configure) apply only to configuration devices, MAX 3000 devices, and MAX 7000 devices. Accordingly, if you select an SRAM-based device in the Device list, the programming options (except for Program/Configure) on the Programmer window are dimmed to indicate that they are not available for the selected device.

In Active Serial Programming mode, all programming options except Security Bit are available for the single EPCS1 or EPCS4 serial configuration device.

In Passive Serial mode, however, all programming options are unavailable.

When using In-Socket Programming mode, all programming options are available for the single configuration device, MAX 3000 device, or MAX 7000 device.

If you do not select an option for a particular device in the chain, the Programmer performs no action on that device during programming or configuration.
