CHAPTER 11: PROGRAMMING & CONFIGURATION
CREATING SECONDARY PROGRAMMING FILES
ALTERA CORPORATION INTRODUCTION TO QUARTUS II ■ 187
5. Select an appropriate programming mode, such as Passive Serial mode,
JTAG mode, Active Serial Programming mode, or In-Socket
Programming mode.
6. Depending on the programming mode, you can add, delete, or change
the order of programming files and devices in the CDF. You can direct
the Programmer to detect Altera-supported devices in a JTAG Chain
automatically and add them to the device list of the CDF. You can also
add user-defined devices.
7. For non-SRAM, non-volatile devices, such as configuration devices,
MAX 3000, and MAX 7000 devices, you can specify additional
programming options to query the device, such as Verify, Blank-
Check, Examine, Security Bit, and Erase.
8. If the design has ISP CLAMP State assignments, or if an I/O Pin State
File exists for the design, turn on ISP CLAMP.
9. Start the Programmer.
Creating Secondary Programming
Files
You can also create secondary programming files in other formats, such as
Jam Files, Jam Byte-Code Files, Serial Vector Format Files, In System
Configuration Files, Raw Binary Files, Tabular Text Files, or I/O Pin State
Files for use by other systems, such as embedded processors. Additionally,
you can convert SOFs or POFs into other programming file formats, such as
POFs for Remote Update, POFs for Local Update, HEXOUT Files for EPC16,
HEXOUT Files for SRAM, or a Raw Programming Data Files, Tabular Text
Files, JIC Files, and Flash Loader Hexadecimal Files. You can create these
secondary programming files by using the Create/Update > Create JAM,
SVF, or ISC File command (File menu), the Create/Update > Create/Update
IPS File command (File menu), and the Convert Programming Files
command (File menu). You can also use the Programming Files tab of the
Device & Pin Options dialog box, which is available from the Device page
in the Settings dialog box (Assignments menu), to specify optional
programming file formats for the Assembler to generate during compilation.
