I also receive from altera support next recommendations: "Since you mentioned that you would like configure MAX 10 using remote micro CPU, then you may consider to use the Jam Player (JAM STAPL) or JBC Player (Jam STAPL Btye-Code player) to program the .jam file into the MAX 10 device via JTAG. The .jam file is generated from the .sof file, this information can be refer in AN425.To port the Jam Player to the embedded processor, you need to modify the jamstub.c or jbistub.c file (for the ASCII Jam Player or Jam Byte-Code Player, respectively). For details in porting the Jam player, please refer to application note AN425: Using Command-Line Jam STAPL Solution for Device Programming from the following link: https://www.altera.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_us/pdfs/literature/an/an425.pdf For other relevant information on how to use Jam/JBC STAPL player and porting into embedded processor please refer to the following link: https://www.altera.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_us/pdfs/literature/an/an586.pdf You can refer to the following link to obtain the Jam Player (JAM STAPL) or JBC Player (Jam STAPL Btye-Code player): https://www.altera.com/support/support-resources/download/programming/jam.html The Jam/JBC STAPL player source code is an open source, since user can modify the source code into embedded system this is consider as design customization. Please bear in mind that we do not provide any support in design customization on the source code. " It is close to msj advice. But we found that Cyclone 4 smallest (~ $6.5) is a bit cheaper then smallest MAX 10 ( ~ $7) and as we don't need to use configuration flash, we decided to use Cyclone 4 with Passive Serial mode for our issue as Ajex adviced.
