Embedded JAM byte-code player failure with Quartus 17

Hi all I implemented the Jam STAPL ByteCode Player (revision 2.2) on an embedded platform in order to program/configure a MAX10 FPGA via JTAG directly from an embedded processor. This was ...

Hi,

I encountered the same problem.

I run most of the JBC PLAYER within a big microcontroller and only a very small number of functions on a separate microcontroller which serves the JTAG lines.

Programming jbc files which were generated with Version 16.1 (file converter) from within quartus ide works nicely.

Programming jbc files which were generated with Version 18.1 (file converter) from within quartus ide does not work.

Programming fails during "configuring SRAM device(s)..." step and this step is an additional step compared to Version 16.1.

I think I found a solution.

I run the quartus_cpf.exe not from the ide but from the command line.

With that the outputs for Version16.1 and Verision18.1 are identically.

The command I use is this: quartus_cpf.exe -c file.pof file.jbc

regards,

Dennis
