Hi Michael
A JIC is a JTAG Indirect Configuration File (.jic) .
You can program devices with either the Serial Flash, Parallel Flash, or Active Parallel Flash Loader schemes, with an in-system JTAG programming method.
From QII Help:
- Use the Assembler to generate an SRAM Object File (.sof) containing the FPGA configuration data.
- On the File menu, click Convert Programming Files.
- Under Output programming file, select JTAG Indirect Configuration File (.jic) in the list.
- In the Configuration device list, select the target configuration device you want to program.
- In the File name box, type the file name for the JTAG Indirect Configuration File you want to create.
- To specify an existing SRAM Object File for conversion to a JTAG Indirect Configuration File, select the SOF Data item under Input files to convert and click Add File.
- To specify the target FPGA device that will program the configuration device, select the Flash Loader item under Input files to convert and click Add Device.
- To generate the JTAG Indirect Configuration File containing configuration device programming data, click OK.
- On the Tools menu, click Programmer.
- If necessary, in the Mode list, select JTAG.
- To add the newly created JTAG Indirect Configuration File to the programming list, click Add File in the Programmer window and select the JTAG Indirect Configuration File.
- In the same row as the FPGA device in the programming list, turn on the Program/Configure option.
- In the same row as the configuration device in the programming list, turn on the Program/Configure option.
- To configure the FPGA device with the Serial Flash Loader IP and then program the configuration device, click Start in the Programmer.
- To reconfigure the FPGA device with configuration data from the configuration device, turn the power to the FPGA device off and on.
