NAME
       flexloader - GPL utility to configure SRAM based ALTERA devices via the ALTERA ByteBlaster

SYNOPSIS
       flexloader [options] [parport_dev] [rbf_filename]

DESCRIPTION
       flexloader  is a small utility to configure SRAM based ALTERA devices.  It downloads a code to the device SRAM using the ALTERA ByteBlaster
       or compatible JTAG programmer. It dialogs with it through the parallel interface, using parport. Note that you should have access rights to
       the parallel port.

       It should support APEX20K, FLEX10K, FLEX6000 and ACEX1K families, though I only tested it on a FLEX10K10 device.

       It currently only support files in raw binary format (.rbf), but others format such as HEX or TTF may be implemented later.

OPTIONS
       -d, --debug
	      Print debug messages.

       -q, --quiet
	      Quiet mode, don't print any message, useful when called from scripts.

       -v     Returns the program version.

       -h, --help
	      Print help screen
