Hi krunal,

For your information, Altera (Intel PSG) does not support non-Altera flash devices. The Altera FPGA device and the Quartus programmer is built to recognize EPCS/EPCQ (any Altera configuration flash devices) for configuration and programming process. Since you are using Spansion (Cypress) flash device, the Quartus programmer is not be able to recognize. This is the reason why you are getting the error message.

I think if you change the .jic file conversion to EPCS128 (and not EPCQ128), perhaps it is possible to program the Spansion (Cypress) flash device via the Quartus programmer. However we cannot guarantee if the Active Serial configuration will be successful.
