I now use quartus 9.1sp1. I don't use the "compressed bitstream" option. I use command line to convert .elf => .hex then i use quartus convert programming file to generate a .jic. @Daixiwen : I don't know which commands/tools could be used to test the sram externally. I think it is possible by using jtag to control fpga port, but it don't think altera has developed this functionality. It is more complicated than a simple script. maybe the simple way to test sram is to develop a "simple" routine in vhdl or C (if onchip memory is big enough) which read and write the whole memory. I will read the memory_test template code to see if I can reduce the size and make it fit in onchip_memory.
