Thank you for your answer. My problem is the first situation, I read that is imposible to program this FPGA because it have only a SRAM memory and I need a Flash memory for programming this FPGA. I find in my board what is this memory, I want to use JTAG mode to get source file and also to program another memory but I do not know how can I do it? . I can not find which are the steps and which are the terminals for JTAG mode in my FPGA, Could you tell me how i can do it?.
I am new programming an FPGA and I do not understand very well.

Yes, we can configure your FPGA and program your configuration devices using the same JTAG interface.
method 1: The Intel FPGA Flash Loader we can establish a bridge between and Flash device.
Use the Intel FPGA Flash Loader IP core to create a dedicated FPGA image that you use only when programming a serial configuration device refer page 8 section 1.4.
method 2: JTAG Indirect Configuration File convert your FPGA image sof to jic and program the flash.
refer page 8 section 1.5.1

Let me know if this has helped resolve the issue you are facing or if you need any further assistance.
