+====== Firmware uploading ======
+The freshly-assembled MSX-EQ cartridge needs the firmware to be uploaded into the PLD chip. For updating/uploading the firmware into the cartridge you will need:
+  - [[en:quartus_ii:quartus_ii#quartusiiweb150|Quartus II Web Edition (Free) 15.0]] software
+  - Byte Blaster or USB Blaster programmer (can be purchased on Ebay or AliExpress)
+The procedure is simple — supply 5v onto the cartridge board, connect the USB Blaster to the JTAG connector's placeholder (mind the orientation of the connector!). Auto–detect the Altera chip with Quatrus software and then upload the POF file from the "Firmware" folder into the PLD chip.

+If the LED assemblies with inverted polarity were used to assemble the cartridge, please use the "MSX_EQ_inv_led.pof" firmware instead of the standard one.
