Hi,


The rpd file will not include the ekp file. The reason is that the rpd file will only contain Max 10 configuration bitstream and ekp is only performed 1 time during the jic configuration.

Ok thank you.

Somewhat related, in ug_m10_config.pdf, it says the key file can be erase via a full chip erase. How do I do this? Doing a normal erase operation just erases the flash, and when I put the .ekp file into the programmer, the erase option is unavailable.
