JTag programming

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Currently the USB blaster is connected to the Max 10 board to do the FPGA code download. Instead we'd like to connect the max 10 board and Linux board with generic jtag connectors on both end and write a small program on the Linux board to download the fpga via jtag. I read somewhere the way to do this is to use the jam player Altera uses. First to produce the jam file and then customize the jam player stub to our application. One thing I wasn't clear was the mention of intel hex file which seems necessary if we want the fpga code to stay on permanently? Would the jam player still be used to send the intel hex or something else would be needed?

thanks!
