Cyclone 10 LP sof2flash unrecognized device family

Hello,

I am trying to generate programming files for a Cyclone 10 LP device using the sof2flash tool of the Nios EDS in Quartus Prime 17.1.1.593:

sof2flash --input="abc.sof" --output="abc.flash" --epcs --verbose

But I get the error message: sof2flash: Unrecognized device family in SOF.

Why is this Quartus version not recognizing Cyclone 10 LP? Is there a workaround for this?

I appreciate any help on this issue.

Best regards

Christopher

    I could not find a solution to the problem so I changed my programming file generation. I am now using the "Convert Programming Files..." tool from quartus to generate a .jic file from the .sof and the .hex file that can be generated with the mem_init_generate build target of NiosII SBT.

    See AN-736 from Altera for details.
