    What board you are using?

    You can use .jic file and USB blaster cable. Go to File-> Convert Programming File. Convert your .sof file to .jic.

    What error message you get when it fails?

    I recomend reading "Configuration, Design Security, and Remote System Upgrades in Cyclone V" chapter from Cyclone V handbook.

    What's the problem you met? And how did u deal with it?

    Do u think you can use other chip to replace epcs128 to save cost? EPCS128 is too expensive.

    I mean that you can select other company's part instead of altera's, which has same memory sizes.

    yes you can use another brand but not all of them

    you should disable id check when you want to programm

    also you can use microcontroller for programming
