Encryption for Cyclone 10CX150YU482I6G with Quartus 19.0

I am able to encrypt my sof file, can get encrypted pof or jic file but when it is programmed into FPGA is not functioning at all (looks like still in tri-state mode). I am able to generate standa...

    Hi Aiman,

    I am following AN556 (Generating Single_device /ekp File and Encryption Configuration using Intel Quartus Prime Software) on page 14 . I go all the way to section 7 and can generate ekp file)

    As for Section 10 I can not select Intel FPGA Ethernet Cable as my only choice is JTAG ( I have shared schematic already) and hence I can not produce jam,svf or ISC files.

    However, if I generated encrypted pof files- I am able to program it using Active serial mode and as I mentioned before FPGA is not functional with that file. Keep in mind that I am able to get compressed or just regular pof file and successfully program and use FPGA

    I am new to encryption, so if you can point out to my wrong steps.

    So, I am stuck at section 10 Ethernet Cable to produce jam, svf files. Any solution to that? Can I bypass this and create encrypted file using JTAG or Active Serial approach.

    Thanks,
