Hi NZami,

Instead of using .rbf file, you need to use the .rpd file for ASx1/x4 configuration scheme. AS configuration scheme support .jic, .pof and .rpd file format. The .rpd file is a binary file for EPCQ/EPCS/EPCQA devices containing a binary bitstream of configuration data for FPGAs that support Active Serial configuration. The .rbf file is not supported in AS mode as there are option bits for AS mode is not available in the .rbf file. This has been explained from the following KDB:

In version 13.1 and later of the Quartus® II software, you can generate a .rpd file which only contains the required configuration data according to the following steps below:

1. Open the File -> Convert Programming Files GUI.

2. Select Programming file type: Programmer Object File (.pof) or JTAG Indirect Configuration file (.jic).

3. Select the appropriate configuration device and Mode.

4. Click SOF Data in the window at the bottom then Add File and add the SRAM Object file (.sof).

5. Check the Create config data RPD box.

6. Click Generate.
