Quartus II: Reading back programmed file from chip?

Thanks, I'll give that a shot tomorrow. Yeah, I would like to recover the source but right now I need to get another board up and running, so if I can capture the data and save it that will be a good start.

That link you provided mentioned that the data would have to be captured/saved as a .jic file instead of the original .pof

Not familiar with the .jic

Hi,

I never tried, but the "examine" feature of the Quartus programmer should be able to do that: https://www.altera.com/support/support-resources/knowledge-base/solutions/rd08192010_758.html.

There also seems to be another thread about this topic: http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=42587

However, this will of course only give you back the data stream, no source files (VHDL/Verilog).

Best regards,
