Loading .rbf file into EPCS16 for remote configuration of FPGA.

Hi, I have prepared a qsys design(Say in quartus_project_a) for writing and reading bytes with EPCS16 using SPI protocol(I am using EP3C25F25C68 FPGA) and it is working properly. Now, I want t...

FVM:

First of all, thanks for the reply.

Do you mean to say a JIC file? That's fine. But here is my requirement. I am forced to do it that way(By my superiors).

Besides that I am almost done with NIOS - EPCS16 communication using SPI. I can read from EPCS16 and write into it some random data, also I can erase sectors of EPCS16.

All I want, right now, is to write the contents of RBF file into EPCS16. But the RBF file, genrated by Quartus II 12.0, seems to be encrypted. How can I write the configuration data, stored in the rbf file, into EPCS16?
