JAM player giving errors with .jam file (generated by 19.1 Quattrus)

Hello, I was trying to see if I could program a Cyclone 10 Max FPGA via embedded device (NXP processor running linux) using a JAM player. I am aware that Intel no longer supports a JAM player, but I ...

    Sorry for the delay in getting back.

    Yes, I was able to build and run the 32-bit application on Ubuntu (raspberry pi). It was able to parse the .jam file without errors.

    Hoewever I ran in to errors during initialization where it was not able to read a valid IDCODE properly . It outputted a different IDCODE every time I ran it. Not sure if this is a problem with the driver itself or the hardware (using GPIO to do the JTAG programming).

    A few questions:

    1) Is this error (reading IDCODE) something common? Is there any pointers I could look in to?

    2) I'll be running this driver on a aarch64 64-bit Ubuntu. I am not sure I should install packages to support (like multilib, libc6) in the 64 bit, Root File System just to support this application. I would like to get a 64 bit version of this driver, with all the necessary porting done for 64 bit. Does Intel has any plans to provide a 64 bit driver for the same? Or any guidance in porting this software to 64 bit?

    Thanks

    Regards
