I'm not able to program the external flash device (which stores the FPGA configuration programming file) with the FPGA programming file (.jic file) using USB blaster II, JTAG and Quartus Prime standard edition 16.1.2 software.

Note that I'm not using the intel/altera recommended external flash device in my project, I m using something similar from different manufacturer. ​Is instantiating the Serial Flash Loader IP inside...
