17 years ago --- Quote Start --- Hello, Could somebody please explaing to me how to program JIC files the the quartus_pgm command line utility? I can successfully program a JIC file using the Quartus II Programmer. If I use the same CDF togeter with the quartus_pgm utility the serial flash is only erased and not programmed. Thanks, Richard. --- Quote End --- :p I guess the reason of the discrepancy between the GUI programmer and the exe programmer could be due to the faulty generation of the cdf file. If you are using the jic file together with the Factory Default SFL Image, and then saved it as the cdf file, then this type of cdf file will not working well because the factory SFL image is not saved yet. Therefore, please follow the instructions below to understand the way to generate a good cdf file. 1. Open QII Programmer, delete all the file in the list. 2. Add file, browse to <QII installation folder>\quartus\common\devinfo\programmer. 3. Choose the relevant SFL image of the device you are using, then add it into the programmer list. 4. Right click on the SFL image.sof file, to attach ACS flash, choose the desired EPCS. Attach the relevant generated jic file onto the EPCS. Ok to continue. 5. Save the programmer list as a new CDF file. Then this is a good cdf file to be used in exe. Hope this method could help out:) ktquah:rolleyes:
