First, you need to make sure you are creating a non time_limited SOF. Once you have the sof files, you should be able to use the standalone programmer mention above.


do let us know if you have further question? If no, we shall close this thread.

    I'm not familiar with time_limited *.sof files. There are no restrictions on the licensing for Quartus Prime and we don't use anything other than a standard RAM MegaCore IP function. Our program doesn't want to spend $4K+ for a standalone license in a closed area.
