As 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.

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.

Sorry, this sounds confused. 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.
