Programming the Image Core: Error - quartus_cvp is not recognized as an internal command.

I'm trying to connect the Intel Cyclone 10 GX device to PCIe. When I execute the command described in the Intel manual:

quartus_cvp --vid=<Vendor ID> --did=<Device ID> xxx.core.rbf

The terminal presents me the following error:

'quartus_cvp' is not recognized as an internal command

or external, an operable program or a batch file.

    Hi,

    After further checking, it looks like quartus_cvp is no longer supported. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Could you try to restart your PC again and try to performed "cp <filename>.core.rbf /dev/altera_cvp"? I suspect that the PCIe link might be in used which cause the issue.

      Hi JohnT_Intel,
      How should I perform Core Image update without installing Intel Quartus Prime ?

    Okay john, it worked.

    But now, I have another problem. The data visualization is done through / dev / Alter_cvp, right? but I can't open this file, how should I proceed?

    Hi,

    The altera_cvp is used for CvP usage only. You will need to write your own driver to send the data to the PCIe end point.

    John,

    I believe that the users of the FPGA Cyclone 10 GX card must have already started the projects with the use of PCI, would you know to indicate me a person, question in this forum or a tutorial in pdf of the alteration that guides the development of the PCIe endpoint?

    Hi,

    I would recommend you to look at the altera_cvp.c code to understand how we are using the it to access the VSEC register.
