Thanks ak6dn,

I tried the way you sugestesd and I got the .jic file it generated, although I don´t have yet any sample of the new device EPCQ4A to test programing it. But at least now I can configure the quartus programmer without problems.

By the way, I also tested to use Quartus 17.1 "convert programing file..." and I also generated .JIC using my .SOF file (which was generate in Quartus 10.1), and configuration for Cyclone I and EPCQ4A. But I still don´t have any EPCQ4A to test programing it.

Is it also OK to do this way?

Thank you again for your help
