Advanced .jbc files with normal compilation flow

Hi. From the Programmer Utility you can create an advanced .jbc file from a .pof file. (E.g. program configuration and user flash partitions in Max10) If you enable .jbc file generation through the...

Hi Nikolay,

You can use quartus_cpf command to convert input file (.sof or .pof or .cdf file) to .jbc file.

Here the example the command:

  • quartus_cpf -c <input_sof_file> <output_jbc_file>
  • quartus_cpf -c <input_pof_file> <output_jbc_file>
  • quartus_cpf -c <input_cdf_file> <output_jbc_file>

I hope this will help.

Cheers

    Hi Shafiq

    I have tried that and that, both with pof and cdf and it dosn't work. It is as if some option are missing. The messages from the JAM pplayer is also different from when the jbc file is generated be the programmer. The programmer makes more of those DO_*********** (optional)

        Hi ShafiqY,

        I'm dealing with this same matter when trying to generate a correct JAM file used for MAX10 internal FLASH update.

        I managed to generate a working JAM file (using Qartus Programmer) after finding this knowledge base:
        https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en//support/support-resources/knowledge-base/component/2017/how-to-generate-a-jam-file-which-supports-the-option-of-dorealti1.html

        That does not quite fit on my development flow as it does not rely on any GUI at all.
        I need to find a way to ensure the property "DO_REAL_TIME_ISP" in the JAM files generated directly on "quartus_cpf" as it was possible with older Quartus versions.

        Inspecting the Quartus configuration files trying to find how to let this property allways on I've found the "quartus2.qreg" file but unfortunately it does not affect the "quartus_cpf" behavior.

        There is another configuration file or procedure available by command line to generate the JAM file with that particular property on?

        Thanks
