.rbf from time limited .sof

I am trying to control a quartus project using an ARM c++ program running on linux. The quartus project includes the Altera FIR compiler 2 IP core. I am unable to convert the .sof file to .rbf in order to configure the FPGA from the micro-sd during boot time. Is it possible to load the linux+frame buffer support from micro-sd and then program the FPGA through J-tag or is there any other solution?

Thank You!
