On Linux, I need to program my Arria V using an .sof and the serial configuration device with a .jic file. The .sof loads ok. Attempts to load the .jic always fail. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

Dear WolfGang,

I have access to a Windows machine. I downloaded Quartus Prime Software and wanted to execute it since there seems to be a lot of Windows examples in your documentation, but few with Linux. However, I have no license. We are in the role on this project as manufacturer. Our images are provided to us from the customer. So I am stuck with an .sof and a .jic file.

Can you get for me a temporary license so I can run the Quartus program on Windows? Also, you say Quartus Programmer. I see a download for Quartus Prime Software. Is there a difference? Which should I use?

Setting aside all other considerations, which quartus_pgm option should I be using to load the .jic file on Linux? I need to stop guessing.
