How to Perform Single-Device Volatile or Non-Volatile Key Programming

Using Quartus II Software with the Command-Line Interface

To perform single-device volatile or non-volatile key programming using the

Quartus II command-line interface through the EthernetBlaster, perform the

following steps:

1. Perform Step 1 of “How to Perform Single-Device Volatile or Non-Volatile Key

Programming Using Quartus II Software” on page 20.

2. To determine the EthernetBlaster cable port number that is connected to the JTAG

server, type quartus_jli -n at the command-line prompt.

3. With the single_ekp.jam file generated in “Step 1: Generate the .ekp File and

Encrypt Configuration File” on page 6, execute volatile or non-volatile key

programming to a single FPGA with the following command line:

■ Volatile key programming:

quartus_jli -c<n> single_ekp.jam -aKEY_CONFIGURE

■ Non-volatile key programming:

quartus_jli -c<n> single_ekp.jam -aKEY_PROGRAM

> is the port number returned with the -n option.

1 The Quartus II software command-line executable provides information about the

success or failure of the key programming operation.
