Thanks for the info!

However that further reinforces that their instructions are incomplete for converting a file to be loaded into Flash on the Stratix 10 GX development board. The only build_hw.sh script I was able to find calls quartus_cpf to produce a .pof file first, before converting that into a .bin file. If quartus_cpf doesn't work for this device, then the script won't work either even after the syntax errors are fixed, or otherwise it is not the right script being referred to by their instructions.
