Hi Ebryc,

The Quartus programmer should only recognize the configuration flash devices listed in the Convert Programming File tools. As you have done, your can use your own hardware+software tools to program the W25Q128FVSIG. Or you can use the Generic Serial Flash Interface Intel FPGA IP to access (write data) into the W25Q128FVSIG device. You can refer the Generic Serial Flash Interface Intel FPGA IP user guide or the how-to video in the links below:
