--- Quote Start --- JP11 is used when you are happy with your design, and have told the tools to convert the .sof file to a .pof file via a check box selection) and wish to have it perminently stored on the board in the EPCS1 PROM. --- Quote End --- at this thread http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4826 i just dont so understand about how to check the box selection! i cant find it, if i directly add .pof to download, it will show the "cant add target EPCS4 to device chain while in current programing mode" and i did connect my jtag cable to jp11 port, if i add .sof to download, will fail too! can someone give me a hand?! i really urgent to present for my final year project!Honored Contributorwhy so less people to support?!
Honored Contributorreally no expert can help me?
Honored ContributorHonored Contributorthanks FVM to reply my thread...
in AS programming, i even cant to download into up3 at both jp11 & jp12. can not detect any device chain. and it even can not change any device also at AS mode. if in jtag mode, add .sof file, we can select the epcs1 device, but can not to download also due to the .sof will be unknown after added or change device. really needing someone to help me... thankssssHonored ContributorAs a first point, the POF file is generated automatically by Quartus, when AS configuration is selected. You may also want to enable bitstream compression to reduce the image size.

It's very clear in the UP3 reference manual, that JP11 is intended for AS programming. Also, as said there's no device chain in AS programming, just a single device accessed by Quartus programmer. The Quartus Programmer has a mode: Combo Box on top of tool window, it has to be set to active serial programming instead of jtag. To my opinion, Quartus Programmer operation is really intuitive, but you'll find verbose software handbooks, if you want.Honored ContributorFVM, i did in AS MODE by adding .pof to download.. but it even fail to downalod what! or do i need to use AS cable instead of Jtag cable?
Honored ContributorWhat's the exact error message in Quartus programmer? There are several steps involved, e. g. reading the device ID, erasing the AS device, programming, verify, each may fail.
AS programming can be done with ByteBlaster II (has been bundled originally with UP3, I think) or USBBlaster, but don't work with previous ByteBlaster MV.Honored Contributorwhile i try to download the .pof file in AS MODE at jp11.... it showed the " silicon id error"...
default .pof set to device epsc4, if want to download permanently, not we need to set to epsc1? but it dont allow me to change device! Do someone can tell me that download my program to UP3, after switch off the current, the program still be stored permanently enough!Honored Contributori using ByteBlaster II which got parallel and jtag
