Generate rbf file for MAX10

The tool converts sof to pof and rpd files only in internal configuration mode. How to generate rbf file in this internal configuration mode?

Looks like the tool does not support MAX10 supported in any other than internal configuration mode.

I look over AN741 and able to create the RPD. However, how to convert the RPD file to RBF?

    .rbf isn't needed for that flow and I don't think it's supported for MAX 10. What do you need it for?

    The RPD looks like obfuscated HEX file. We convert rbf file into C file. The C file contains the data as constant array and data size. Software compile the C file with their project and read the one byte at a time from the Array and send to FPGA via SPI. If RPD file can be converted to C file, that works too.
